SPARERIBS AND SAUERKRAUT
You just cannot do this one wrong. You don't have to drain the sauerkraut. You don't even brown the ribs; they brown without your help. The recipe was handed down to Camille MacKusick by her father-in-law, from the family archives. All sorts of magical juices ooze out of everything. When the last finger is licked and the last lip smacked, everyone will weep.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300°F. Choose a baking pan that will accommmodate the ribs in pieces or all hitched together, with the kraut in the space left over. Eight country-style ribs cut into a 6-rib and a 2-rib hunk, plus the can of kraut, fit perfectly in a 9-by-13-inch pan. For more ribs, get a bigger pan and more kraut.
- Place the ribs in the pan and the sauerkraut in a mound beside them. Cover the ribs - not the kraut - with the barbecue sauce. Use as much as you like, maybe more than half the bottle, maybe less. Cover the pan tightly withaluminum foil and bake for 3 hours. Lift a corner of the foil near the end of the time to sneak a look. The ribs should be nicely browned and glazed and your mouth should water. Serve hot.

TENDER SPARERIBS & SAUERKRAUT
My grandpa introduced me to sauerkraut and spareribs and told me how to make it. The brown sugar gives this a distinctively different taste than most sauerkraut and sparerib recipes.

SAUERKRAUT AND SPARERIBS
This is a New Year's Day tradition for my hubby's family. It has German origins and is supposed to bring good luck in the New Year. Note: My MIL says that the spareribs must be country-style; baby back don't work for this one. The amount of sauerkraut used depends on how much you want to eat. We found 2 cans to be too much; next time, we'll scale it down to 1 1/2. *Note: In light of Charlotte J's review, I also want to suggest adding apples or onions if you feel that it needs more flavor. This is how hubby's family has done this one for years, and I would probably tinker with it if given the chance, but I better not mess with his tradition ;)

SPARERIBS AND SAUERKRAUT
Spareribs and Sauerkraut. This is taken from the manual for my pressure cooker which I snagged at a thrift shop. The manual is from the late 60's early 70's. I've made this dish for years in the oven and it takes more than an hour. In the pressure cooker, 15 minutes. It comes out even more tender and perfect too!

GERMAN SPARERIBS AND SAUERKRAUT
This scrumptious dish was introduced to me by my German college roommate many years ago. We fixed it in our dorm room, which was verbotten, so I always associate this meal with an electric fry pan. I seem to remember we cooked the potatoes with the ribs in the same pan, but I think boiling the potatoes separately is a better idea.

Steps:
- Brown spareribs in a large frying pan on medium heat until most of the fat has been rendered.
- Remove to a platter temporarily as you fry each batch.
- Brown the sliced onions and then add the garlic and cook another minute or two, but do not brown the garlic.
- Remove onions and garlic from the pan briefly with a slotted spoon and pour off any fat that may have accumulated.
- Place mushroom soup and sauerkraut in the pan and stir well and scrape up any browned bits that may have stuck to the pan.
- Add onions, garlic, and apples and stir again.
- Place spareribs on top and cover pan.
- Cook for about an hour on low, stirring occasionally.
- Be cautious in adding any salt because of the sauerkraut, but taste and season accordingly.
- Boil potatoes in salted water until just barely fork-tender.
- Serve the sauce over the potatoes.
Tips:
- Choose a good quality pork rib. Look for ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling.
- Trim the ribs of excess fat. This will help them cook more evenly.
- Season the ribs generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Brown the ribs in a hot skillet. This will help to caramelize the meat and give it a nice flavor.
- Transfer the ribs to a slow cooker and add the sauerkraut, broth, and water. Cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.
- Serve the ribs with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or your favorite side dish.
Conclusion:
Pork ribs and sauerkraut is a classic German dish that is both hearty and flavorful. It is a great choice for a cold winter day. The ribs are cooked slowly in a flavorful broth until they are fall-off-the-bone tender. The sauerkraut adds a tangy and sour flavor to the dish. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
