Cut the ribs into individual portions & brown in a heavy pan. Add the juice from the sauerkraut & enough water barely to cover. Simmer, covered about 45 minutes.
Add the sauerkrat, pushing it down into the liquid in the pan.
Add the apple & caraway seed & cook 30-60 minutes longer. The liquid should evaporate during cooking.~~Craig Claiborne
NOTE: You may also bake this in a 350° oven.

Ribs - Country Style Ribs
=========================
This is adapted from a Paul Prudhomme Recipe.

Seasoning Mix

1 Tablespoon Salt
2 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

3 to 4 pounds of country style ribs
1 onion chopped
1 large green pepper chopped
1 cup of chicken stock (may need more)
. Mix ingredients for seasoning together.

Place ribs in a ungreased baking pan and rub the meat with the
seasoning mix. Rub meat with a small amount of oil and roast in a 500°
oven for 30 minutes turning often until the ribs are brown and the fat
is crispy. Reduce temperature to 350° and sprinkle the meat with the
onions and green peppers and add the chicken broth. Return the pan to
the oven and roast additional hour or until meat is tender. Check
occasionally and add more broth as needed.

I like it served over rice and sometimes beans on the side.

3 lbs. country-style pork ribs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce

Place ribs in a large heavy-duty Ziploc plastic bag; add flour. Seal bag securely, and shake until ribs are coated.
Line a 13- x 9- x 2-inch pan with aluminum foil; place ribs in pan. Combine sugar, vinegar, and soy sauce; pour over ribs. Bake at 350° F. for 30 minutes. Turn ribs, and bake 30 additional minutes or until tender. Yield: 4 servings.

Recipe by Marilyn Hanson. From What’s Cookin’ from the "Young at Heart". Douglas County Senior Center Nutrition Center, Gardnerville, Nevada.

Pre-heat oven to 275. Lightly coat ribs with vegetable oil and place on rack with pan lined with foil. Sprinkle both sides of ribs with lots of lemon pepper and garlic powder(in place of the gp, you can use minced garlic). Let stand about 30 minutes before cooking. Cover with foil and cook for 3 hrs.

I love country style ribs, so I'm going to try all of the above!
