I’ve heard of cider-braised ribs, but I don’t generally have apple cider chilling in my fridge. Apple juice? Now that I have. These ribs were surprisingly tender with a sweet tang that cut through the rich fatty flavor, making them extremely easy to eat. If you don’t use vinegar on Rosh Hashanah, be sure to try this one for Sukkos!
