Johnny Appleseed Ribs

Let's hear it for one of America's legendary heros, Johnny Appleseed. You can thank John Chapman, alias Johnny Appleseed for traveling the countryside on foot, planting orchards in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois and Indiana, spanning an estimated area of 100,000 square miles. We dedicate this recipe to his hard efforts!

You may prepare this recipe with pork spare ribs, babyback ribs, pork shoulders or pork (Boston) butts. Just make your recipe proportionate. Today, we will address the spare ribs.

    1 1/2 cup apple cider
    3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
    1/2 cup med onion
    3 tbls LIGHT olive oil
    1 tbls Worcestershire sauce
    1 tsp thyme
    1 tbls fresh ground pepper
    1 Delicious apple - sliced thinly

Combine all ingredients into plastic bag and place the pork ribs in the bag with the marinade. Marinate overnight in the refrigerator. When you are ready to cook, remove ribs from marinade. Take the marinade, less the apples, and heat to boiling in separate pot for 3 mintues. Cook spare ribs for 5 1/5 to 6 hours at 210 degrees basting every 30 minutes with the marinade.

Enjoy!
