Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Select spare ribs that are meaty and have good marbling. Avoid ribs that are too thin or bony.
  • Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the ribs cook more evenly and tenderize them.
  • Make the marinade: Use a flavorful marinade to infuse the ribs with flavor. The marinade can be made with a variety of ingredients, such as soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger.
  • Marinate the ribs: Marinate the ribs for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the ribs.
  • Cook the ribs: Cook the ribs in a preheated oven at 300°F for 2-3 hours, or until the ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Make the cranberry sauce: While the ribs are cooking, make the cranberry sauce. Combine cranberries, sugar, water, and orange zest in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the ribs: Serve the ribs with the cranberry sauce. Enjoy!
