Preheat oven to 350ºF. Cut ribs into 2-rib pieces. Sprinkle both sides of ribs with salt and pepper. Place ribs meaty-side-up in a shallow roasting pan. Bake at 350ºF for 30 minutes, turning once; drain.

Melt Crisco in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add green pepper, onion, and celery, and cook untill onion is tender, stirring occasionally. Blend in vinegar, catsup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and chili powder. Add lemon slices. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; set aside.

Reserve lemon slices, then spoon half of the sauce over ribs. Cover and continue baking for 30 minutes, basting once. Turn ribs meaty-side-up; baste with remaining sauce. Cover and bake, basting several times, for 1 hour longer or until meat is tender. Garnish with reserved lemon slices and a green pepper ring.
