FOR THE RIBS AND MARINADE: Place the short ribs in a
single layer in a deep glass dish. Combine all remaining
ingredients and pour over ribs. Cover and refrigerate
for 24 hours.
FOR THE VEGETABLES: Set the oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.
Remove the meat from the marinade. In a deep oven-safe
pan over high heat, add 1/4 cup of the oil and sear the
ribs until dark brown on all sides. Remove the ribs and
set aside.
Add the rest of teh oil to the pan, then sauté onion,
garlic, parsley root, ginger, thyme, and bay leaves
until onion is golden brown. Pour in the red wine
vinegar and deglaze.
Add the wine and ribs. Season. Bring liquid to a simmer.
Add the beef stock and juniper berries, cover, and
transfer pan to the oven. Bake for 2 hours.
FOR THE GARNISH: Warm the schnapps, add the raisins, and
let soak for 30 minutes.
In a small pan over medium-high heat, toast the almonds,
watching carefully to avoid burning them. Add the honey
and raisins and reduce liquid to a syrup-like
consistency.
TO FINISH: When the ribs are tender, carefully transfer
them to a serving platter, reserving baking liquid.
Cover ribs with foil to keep warm.
Strain the baking liquid into a medium pot and skim off
the excess fat. Over medium heat, simmer to reduce until
liquid is the consistency of a sauce.
Thicken the sauce with the pumpernickel crumbs and
adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Top the ribs with the chopped thyme and sliced savory.

Time permitting, it is much easier to remove the fat
from the sauce if you let it cool; the fat will rise to
the surface and harden.
