This is one of the very first recipes I started making after moving out on my own, and it’s been a staple ever since.
Simple, reliable, and always a hit, these sweet & sour ribs are baked until tender and coated in my signature sauce — thick, glossy, and perfectly balanced between sweet and tangy.
It’s the kind of recipe that doesn’t need much… just good ingredients and a little time in the oven. Serve it over rice or with your favourite sides for an easy, comforting meal 💜
👉 For the sauce, use my Kimberley’s Signature Sweet & Sour Sauce

💡 Kimberley’s Tips

- The sauce thickens and caramelizes as it cooks
- Serve over rice to soak up all that extra sauce 👀
