"Eye-Popping" Ribs

Looking for something "spooktacular" to serve your family for Halloween?!  Here it is folks!  Ribs, brewed with "Witches Brew" along side Apple "Eye balls!"

How did this come to be? Well, I had it in my head that I really wanted to make something with "Witches Brew" wine.  It actually caused me to run to the store for it at 10:40 p.m.  (I know, I know!  But, I really wanted to make this!)   Once I tasted it, I knew just what to do!  That's where the Apple "Eye balls" come in to play!  Apples are always good with pork, but with the flavor of the Witches Brew, I knew it would be awesome!  So, I used a melon baller to scoop "eye balls" out of my apples!

The results?!  A "Die-licious" creation!!!!!  Not only was this awesome, but my "eye balls" actually held up in the crock and still looked like I had intended!  BONUS!  My daughter got a big kick out of this meal!  She had a lot of fun at dinner!
