Cranberry Spareribs

This may seem like a odd combination of ingredients, but it's absolutely delicious. This is from my Taste of Home cookbook.

• Ready In: 2 hrs 10 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 4  lbs  spareribs
• 1 (16 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
• 1 (10 ounce) can  beef gravy
• 1⁄2 cup orange marmalade
• 1⁄4 cup lemon juice
• 1⁄8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1  teaspoon vinegar

Directions

1. Cut ribs in serving-size pieces. Place in Dutch over or large pot; cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 45 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in medium saucepan, combine cranberry sauce, gravy, marmalade, lemon juice, and cinnamon; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
3. Remove form heat and stir in vinegar. Drain ribs and place with meat side up in a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish. Pour 2 1/2 cups of sauce over the ribs. Cover and bake at 400°F for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake 15 to 20 more minutes longer, or until meat is tender, basting every 5 minutes with remaining sauce.
