Show Us Your Meat, and We'll Show You Ours

Anyone have a good brine recipe? I'm going to be Q'ing pork ribs this weekend and want to take a stab at brining them first. Minimizing sugar or the use of a prepared sauce/seasoning a plus.

I brine chicken more than pork, but the principle is the same. Mine is really simple: Quart of all natural apple cider, good amount of fresh ground black pepper (15 turns or so), 1/4 cup kosher salt, and 1 minced garlic clove.
