Spare ribs in apple juice

Credit must go to my Food Goddess Nigella Lawson for inspiring this one. It was the first time I was cooking spare ribs and obviously I was nervous but it came out super! I have tried this with mutton cubes too and it turned out nice. So feel free to experiment. Also I must warn you this one has a sweet aftertaste which many people don't like.

Ingredients (serves 4):
4 pork spare ribs
100 ml apple juice (the tetrapack variety will do, if not then you may use Appy Fizz during emergency)
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsps chilli flakes
1 tbsp pepper crushed
2 tbsps honey
3 cinnamon twirls (one twirl crushed for extra flavour)
4 star anise
1 tbsp vegetable oil
salt to taste

Method:
Toss everything in a plastic bag or zip pouch. Keep marinated in the refrigerator for atleast 8 hours or even better, overnight.
Before cooking, bring to room temperature.
Arrange on a flat dish and put it in oven or microwave on medium for 15-20 minutes till done.
Serve with mashed potatoes and boiled veggies.
Yum Yum!
