These ribs never fail to bring in a crowd. They're sweet, sticky and tender, cheap to make and simple to prepare, yet guaranteed to be a showstopper at any dinner party. However, they do require a long, slow cook (4-6 hours ideally) to ensure that the meat is succulent and falling off the bone.
The thing that makes these ribs so special is the added cider or coke, which reduces down significantly during cooking. Using cider will give your sauce a fantastic, tangy, "apple'y" undertone - pork and apples are of course an undeniable match made in heaven! - while Coke will result in a sweeter, stickier coating for your ribs.
Either way, they're damn tasty so why not try out both and see which one you like the best!
Pre-heat the oven to 150-160°C.
In a deep roasting tray or big pot suitable for the oven, mix together all the sauce ingredients together thoroughly then cover over all the spare ribs.
