Start by placing all the ingredients for the applesauce in a double-bottomed pot. Cover with a lid and bring the mixture to a boil. 2. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. 3. Remove the lemon strips and cinnamon stick, then puree the mixture using a food processor. You can serve the applesauce as is, alongside ice cream or yogurt for a simple and delicious dessert. Step 2: BBQ sauce 1. In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent. 2. Add the cumin and cayenne, stirring for a minute to release the flavors. 3. Incorporate the tomato paste and stir for a minute. 4. Add all the other ingredients and bring the sauce to a boil. Then, reduce the heat, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. The sauce can be stored in airtight jars in the refrigerator. Step 3: Pork ribs 1. Wash and dry the ribs with a paper towel. Peel off the white skin from the inside of the ribs to allow the spices to penetrate better. 2. Rub the ribs with the spice mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Place them in a covered dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (you can leave them overnight for a more intense flavor). 3. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the ribs on the grill rack, meat side up, and cover the tray with aluminum foil. Bake for 1.5 - 2 hours, until the meat easily pulls away from the bone. 4. Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 20 minutes at room temperature. Meanwhile, increase the oven temperature to 220 degrees Celsius. 5. Brush the ribs with BBQ sauce on all sides and return to the oven for another 15-20 minutes, until they develop a dark, grilled color. Serving Serve the ribs cut into pieces, warm, alongside the applesauce and a potato salad or coleslaw for a fresh contrast. This meal is perfect for a family dinner or a gathering with friends! Useful tips - You can adjust the level of spices according to your preferences; if you like a spicier sauce, add more cayenne. - If you prefer, you can add other types of fruits to the applesauce, such as pears or peaches, for a different flavor. - The BBQ sauce can be used not only for ribs but also for chicken or grilled vegetables.
