Never thought preserves would make such delicious ribs but it DID! I like short ribs better than baby back, etc. because they are more meaty. This is a keeper!

If you see my ratings, I base them on my picky husband. I thought this was pretty good, though he didn't. I think it's a preference...which is why I only gave 3 stars. Unlike some of the other dishes where I've used peach preserves over chicken or even raspberry sauce...the cherry preserve flavor is what didn't work for my husband...who has liked the others. It's a personal thing so I would urge others to try this recipe, just in case they absolutely love it! I also didn't have the liquid smoke on hand and wonder if that would have made the difference for him.

My family loved this recipe. I was not sure about microwaving the ribs but they were so tender and the sauce was delicious. It was very easy and I had all the ingredients on hand except the Liquid Smoke, which I omitted since it was optional.
