Serves: 4

What you need:

  • 4 tbs unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 4 tsp Schwartz Garlic Salt
  • 1 tbs Schwartz Mild Chilli Powder
  • 1 tsp Schwartz Cinnamon

  • 150ml (¼ pint) apple juice
  • 4 tbs tomato purée

What you do:

  1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC, 400°F, Gas Mark 6.
  2. Place the ribs in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour.

  4. Mix together the sugar, cocoa powder, Garlic Salt, Mild Chilli Powder and Cinnamon in a small bowl. Reserve 3 tbs of this spice mixture for the sauce.
