CRANBERRY SPARERIBS

 

4 pounds spareribs

1 can (16) oz.) whole-berry cranberry sauce

1 can (10 oz.) beef gravy

½ cup orange marmalade

¼ cup lemon juice

1/8 tea. ground cinnamon

1 tea. vinegar

 

     Cut ribs into serving pieces; place in a large kettle.  Cover with water; bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 45 min.  Meanwhile, in a medium pan, combine cranberry sauce, gravy, marmalade, lemon juice and cinnamon; bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; simmer for 10-15 min. or until thickened, stirring occasionally.  Remove from the heat; stir in vinegar.  Drain ribs; place with meat side up in a greased 13”X9”X2” baking dish.  Pour 2½ cups of the sauce over ribs.  Cover and bake at 400° for 20 min.  Uncover and bake 15-20 min. longer or until meat is tender, basting every 5 min. with remaining sauce.  Yield: 6 servings.
