This recipe looks great. All the ingredients seem to make sense to me except the sour cream. Does the sour cream do something to the meat?
 
1976 seems about the same as when sweet & sour little smokeys were popular sans the sour cream.
I seem to recall my Mom doing ribs like this in the oven for my Dad.

Sounds like something out of Steve Hall's (AKA Shotgun Red) playbook. Interesting, but when the cost of the sauce exceeds that of the protein, I've gotta pass.
