Cranberry Barbecue Ribs

Cranberry Barbecue Ribs

3	pounds fresh pork riblets or 1 rack (3 pounds) pork back ribs, cut lengthwise across bones in half
1	cup whole berry cranberry sauce
1/2	cup hoisin sauce
1/2	teaspoon onion powder
1/4	teaspoon salt
1/8	teaspoon pepper

1.	Heat oven to 375ºF. Grease broiler pan rack. Trim fat and remove membranes from pork riblets. (For ribs, cut between bones into serving pieces.)
2.	Place pork, meaty sides up, in single layer on rack in broiler pan. Cover with aluminum foil and bake 50 minutes.
3.	Mix remaining ingredients. Brush pork with half of the cranberry mixture. Bake uncovered 10 to 20 minutes longer or until pork is tender. (If using Do-Ahead Tip, stop here.)
4.	Heat remaining cranberry mixture to boiling in 1-quart saucepan. Serve with pork. Eh. These are “okay”. I had high hopes for these being great ribs with a great sauce, but they really weren’t. On a scale of 1-10, they were about a 5. Something about them seemed a little off. I suspect it was the amount of hoisin sauce. This recipe may fare better in a slow cooker.
