1-2-3-4-5 Spareribs Directions

  1. Set the ribs in a deep skillet or large saucepan over high heat. Add the sherry, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and water, and stir well to combine. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Cover and simmer for 40 minutes, stirring and turning the ribs occasionally. Uncover and raise the heat to high. Bring the sauce back up to a boil, and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce reduces and the glaze coats the ribs. Transfer to a serving dish, and enjoy while hot.
