Stir in tomato puree, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and chill sauce. Bring to a boil, then simmer, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in large aluminum foil-lined baking pan or  broiler rack, arrange spareribs, meaty side up, and bake 20 minutes.

Brush spareribs generously with sauce, then continue baking, meaty  side up, brushing occasionally with remaining sauce, 50 minutes, or until spareribs are done.
