Grandma Jean's: Sweet & Sour Spareribs

Ingredients:
2 lbs spareribs

2 Tbs of cornstarch.    Whoops.  I hope you have cornstarch.
2 Tbs lemon juice
2 Tbs ketchup
3 Tbs  soya sauce
2 C water
Brown ribs and drain.  Add sugar and brown again.  Pour on the vinegar and bring to a boil.  Mix together the lemon juice, ketchup, soya sauce, and salt.  Add to ribs.  Add water and boil for 30 minutes or longer if you want.  Thicken  by putting a couple of T of cornstarch in a dish and add a bit of water till it is like syrup.  Stir it into the ribs.
