Sweet 'n' Sour Country Ribs

I found this recipe in my one-dish collection cookbook (Find it on Amazon!) and thought I'd try it because it looks SO GOOD! Instead of using pork ribs I used pork chops because I couldn't find ribs at Smith's and if you know me, you know I HATE Walmart!

Instead of re-typing the recipe and probably plagiarizing, I found it online. It's from the French's mustard website (Reckitt Benckiser, 2011).

Ingredients:

3 pounds country-style pork ribs, fat trimmed

3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks

2 cups apple juice

1/4 cup cider vinegar

1/4 cup FRENCH'S® Extra Tenderizing™ Worcestershire Sauce

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

2 tablespoons FRENCH'S® Spicy Brown Mustard

2 tart green apples, cored and cut into 1-inch chunks

1 tablespoon cornstarch

Directions:

Heat 1 tbsp. oil in 6-quart saucepot or Dutch oven over high heat. Cook ribs 10 minutes or until well-browned on all sides; drain fat.

Add potatoes to ribs. Whisk together apple juice, vinegar, Worcestershire, sugar and mustard. Pour over rib mixture; stir well. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low. Cook, covered, 40 minutes or until pork is tender and no longer pink in center, stirring occasionally.

Stir in apples; cook 5 minutes or until tender. Transfer ribs, potatoes and apples to platter; keep warm. Combine cornstarch with 2 tbsp. water. Stir into pot. Heat to boiling, whisking constantly. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until liquid thickens, stirring often. Serve with crusty bread, if desired.
