Cooking Tips

• Choose bone-in country style pork ribs for the best flavor and tenderness.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can reduce the apple cider on the stovetop before adding it to the pot.
• For extra flavor, you can add herbs such as thyme or rosemary to the pot while braising the ribs.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover ribs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the ribs in a baking dish, cover with foil, and warm in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) until heated through.
• Serve the ribs with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
