Country-style-ribs, like most pork, go great with most fruits, with cloves, allspice, with savory flavors such as sage, roemary, thyme, pepper, salt, with sweet flavors such as sugar, brown sugar, mollasses, etc. They are great grilled over an open fire, or covered and smoked. The country style spare ribs are so very versatile. I've even had them marinated in root beer. They were pretty good, but I wouldn't do that. I've also heard of people marinating them in Coke.
My favorite way to have them is grilled over a solid bed of hot charcoal, with just salt and pepper. Cover and cook, turning every few minutes until browned on all sides. You can drizzle pineapple juice over them for added flavor.
They are also fabulous when browned and finnnished in a pot of baked beans with mollasses, sweetener, and onion, and oh, don't forget a touch of prepared yellow mustard.
