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.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450°F degrees.
- Cut ribs into serving pieces.
- Place in 13x9-inch pan; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
- Reduce oven to 350°F degrees.
- Remove ribs; drain fat from pan.
- In same pan, combine sauerkraut, sugar, apples, onion, and water.
- Spread it all out evenly.
- Put ribs on top; bake uncovered for 1 1/2 hrs, stirring occasionally.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork ribs. Look for ribs that are meaty and well-marbled, with a good layer of fat. Avoid ribs that are thin or bony.
- Trim the ribs of excess fat and silver skin. This will help the ribs to cook more evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
- Season the ribs liberally with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. Rub the seasonings into the ribs, making sure to coat them evenly.
- Braising is a great way to cook spare ribs because it helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can braise the ribs in a variety of liquids, such as beer, wine, or broth.
- Cook the ribs until they are fall-off-the-bone tender. This will usually take at least 2 hours, but it may take longer depending on the thickness of the ribs.
- Serve the ribs with your favorite sides, such as sauerkraut, mashed potatoes, or green beans.
- If you are using a slow cooker, add the ribs and sauerkraut to the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
- If you are using the oven, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the ribs for 2-3 hours, or until they are tender.
- Garnish the ribs with fresh parsley or cilantro before serving.
Conclusion:
Spare ribs and sauerkraut is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The ribs are braised in a flavorful sauce until they are fall-off-the-bone tender, and the sauerkraut adds a tangy and sour flavor to the dish. Whether you are making it for a special occasion or just a weeknight dinner, spare ribs and sauerkraut is sure to be a hit.
