Ingredients

• 2 lbs pork spareribs
• 1 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Cut the spareribs into serving-sized pieces, if necessary.

Step 3

Place the spareribs in a large roasting pan and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Add 1 cup of water to the bottom of the pan. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil to ensure the ribs stay moist while cooking.

Step 5

Bake the spareribs in the preheated oven for 1.5 hours, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 6

While the ribs are baking, prepare the cranberry glaze: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberry sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and soy sauce. Stir the mixture until it is smooth and well combined, then heat it until it starts to simmer. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Step 7

Once the ribs are done baking, carefully remove the pan from the oven and discard the excess liquid from the pan.

Step 8

Brush a generous layer of the prepared cranberry glaze over the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 9

Return the glazed ribs to the oven and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, uncovered, until the glaze caramelizes and forms a sticky coating on the ribs.

Step 10

Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve the cranberry spareribs hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables. Enjoy!
