    Flavor was pretty good, if a little bit too "vinegar-y" -- I used cider vinegar, which is of course quite different from apple cider. Nutritional info is way off; did a recipe makeover to sub sugar-free preserves, and saw 4 oz of beef listed instead of 4 lbs; corrected calories per serving was 531! - 6/26/12

    After I saw your comment, I went to the makeover button and saw the same thing- 4 oz. for the beef rib amount. I can't believe that I didn't see that; I clearly had 4 lbs. in the ingredients list on the bottom. I've now made the correction within the recipe itself.
