Delicious Pork Spare Ribs Made With Apple Sauce

Recipe From The Montreal Gazette

METHOD:

Par-boil ribs in boiling lightly salted water for about 10 minutes.
(NOTE:) Par boiling can take flavor out of ribs but it’s okay for recipes with flavorful sauce.
I prefer to wrap mine tightly in foil and bake on 350F for about 20 minutes instead of par boiling, then I proceed with the recipe.
But hey, that’s me.  You say potato I say potata. Both ways work fine.

In a heavy saucepan, mix applesauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, pepper, salt, paprika, garlic  powder and cinnamon.

Over medium high heat, bring sauce to a boil and continue boiling for 1  2 minutes. Place par-boiled ribs in an oven  proof dish and brush with ½ the sauce mixture.

Bake for about 45 minutes in a pre-heated 350 degree oven, Turn ribs after 45 minutes and brush with remaining sauce. Bake for another 45 minutes on this side of ribs
