Spareribs by Barb

My friend Barb made these ribs the other night for a dinner party and everyone raved about their tenderness and flavor. I think she made the recipe up herself, and it is good enough for my cookbook! Loved them.

• Ready In: 2 hrs 30 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 4  lbs  spareribs
• 1 (14 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
• 1 (10 ounce) can  beef gravy
• 1⁄2 cup orange marmalade
• 1⁄4 cup lemon juice
• 1  dash ground cinnamon
• 1  teaspoon white vinegar

Directions

1. Cook ribs until fork tender, approximately 2 hours in a 325 degree F. oven with appropriate seasonings and water to cover bottom of pan 1/4 inch. Replenish during cooking.
2. Combine all sauce ingredients except vinegar in a saucepan; bring to a boil and simmer 10 -15 minutes to thicken. Remove from heat and add vinegar.
3. Place ribs meat side up in a deep pan. Try to keep the ribs in a single layer, so two pans would be more appropriate. Pour sauce over and bake at least another 1/2 hour basting frequently. 350 degree F is a good temperature. The sauce will thicken up nicely.
