2 1/2 lbs pork spareribs |
2 (16 ounce) cans sauerkraut |
3 tablespoons shortening |

1 1/2 cups water |
1 medium onion (diced) |
1 apple (grated) |
1 medium potato |
1 bay leaf |
3 whole cloves |

Directions:
1. Place ribs in a large pot, cover them with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Drain the water and cool the ribs until you can touch them. Cut them into 1 or 2 rib portions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and set them aside.
