Glazed Pomegranate Pork RibsI came up with this recipe when I was actually craving a tart apple pork dish, but had no apples. Luckily, we have an abundance of pomegranates sitting around, so pomegranate pork was to be made. I can now report that this has my tart apple pork beat.

This is an awesome one pan dish. I also adore its holiday colours!
