Ingredients

• 2 medium yellow onions
• 3 lb. country-style pork ribs
• 2 cloves garlic
• 3 tbsp. Il Fusti Basil Olive Oil
• 4 tsp. grated fresh ginger
• 1/4 c. low-sodium soy sauce
• 4 tsp. sherry vinegar
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
• 1 1/2 c. red-currant jelly
• 4 tsp. ketchup

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 300°F. Chop 1 onion into 1-inch pieces. Place ribs, chopped onion, and garlic in a 9- by 13-inch roasting pan with 1 1/2 cups water. Cover tightly with foil and place in oven. Braise until ribs are very tender, about 3 1/2 hours.
2. Meanwhile, for the red-currant glaze, finely chop the remaining onion. Heat Il Fusti Basil Olive Oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 6 minutes. Add ginger and cook for 1 more minute. Stir in the remaining ingredients and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, reserve 1/2 cup for serving alongside ribs, and the remaining glaze for brushing on ribs.
3. Remove ribs from pan, discard onion and garlic, and drain braising liquid. Increase oven to 350°F. Return ribs to pan, brush with glaze, and place on middle rack in oven. Baste with glaze every 10 minutes for 30 minutes. Serve hot or warm alongside 1/2 cup reserved glaze.
