2 lbs "country style ribs" bone in, browned in a hot, deep skillet.
1 large jar of sauerkraut, simple, no seeds and weird stuff. Store brand is fine.
After browning the ribs, dump the saurkraut in and add three cans of water.
Bring to boil, add two tablespoons dark brown sugar and stir well, reduce to a simmer. Add fresh cracked pepper and simmer gently uncovered for two hours.
