I probably wouldn't put it on an application. This is terrible advice, maybe, but it's true: Um. Can anyone in your family lie for you? That's what I did. Before I worked at where I work at now, I worked at Toyota and uhm... yeah, some shit happened... and I wasn't there very long. Needless to say, I didn't put it on an app.
However, my grandpa made a business up and even had business cards printed. It wasn't really a business, as it was just him willing to do welding for people. Still, I asked him if I could put down as a reference and I wrote on my next app that I was "employed" by him for 6 months and they called him and asked him and I got the job, easily.
