2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 1/2 pounds bone-in country style pork ribs
1 - 28 ounce can tomato puree

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F. Heat the oil until almost smoking in a large braising pan.
Brown the ribs on all sides over high heat. Meanwhile combine the tomato puree,
MESQUITE SEASONING and brown sugar in a mixing bowl and stir well to
