  1. This is my very favorite pork rib recipe! Thank you so much for posting. I don't see how Carol G. could have had so much sauce leftover since it only makes 2 cups to begin with. It definitely must be added for the cooking process. Sometimes the ribs make more or less "juice", so if I need to, I mix a little cornstarch with water and mix it into the pot for the last 5 minutes to thicken it up a little bit.
     
  2. Southern chef you are so correct in saying that these are tender and juicy. The ingredients combined into a great mild tasting recipe!! There was no one ingredient that over powered another. Here in Iowa, country-style pork ribs have the bone left in them and they are VERY meaty. I made to different recipes today, this one and Chinese Pork Ribs <a href="/157334">Chinese Pork Ribs</a>. I will be making this one again. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
     
  3. I tried this recipe for a casual dinner with our good friends. I love using the Crockpot as it allowed me to get the main ingredient ready with little fuss. The variations were that I cut back on the soy sauce (about 1/2 as we are very sodium conscious) and therefore cut the sweet ingredients so as to keep the balance. I also always brown the meat on a skillet to lock in the flavor. My guests really enjoyed the pork which was fork tender along with the onions and au jus.
     
  4. My boyfriend is a cook and this recipe even blew him away! The flavor was fantastic--I might use a little more red pepper next time because I like spicy food but the sweet and savory flavors soaked into the ribs really nicely. I also used some water to thin the marinate a bit and served over orzo. Great recipe
     
  5. We've been making this recipe for years (it's in a cookbook I own) and we love it. I don't feel the need to change a thing. Most of the ingredients are things I have on hand all the time, and they are very easy to throw together. The ribs are tender and flavorful. I serve them with brown rice and veggies and the kids always ask for seconds! Yum!

  1. This made a really good sauce that was not too sweet and had a little tang to it. I subbed boneless/skinless chicken breasts for the ribs and when the chicken was done I turned the crock off and tossed in some peppers and onions that had been cut up. I let it sit on the counter for a while so the vegetables could soften just a bit but still retain some crunch. Removed everything from the crock and poured the sauce in a pan and thickened the sauce with a little cornstarch. Served it all over rice and had a nice Sunday dinner with very little effort. Thanks for sharing!
     
  2. Not only was this very tasty but my picky 10 y/o asked for a second helping AND asked for leftovers tonight...a rarity here! I cut the recipe in half, used all boneless country ribs and I threw in one large rib w/bone in...both rib meats were moist and tender; cooked for 5 hours on low perfectly. I used seasoned rice wine vinegar instead of the regular vinegar and added a few squirts of bottled Sweet Baby Ray's regular BBQ sauce to the liquid. This is not a thick, sticky sauce, as you would find while ordering chinese takeout but the thin sauce is tasty and makes for nice, tender, moist pork. I made with a side of white rice and broccoli. I left off the green onions (picky son). I will be making this many times and next time and would like to try it with chicken breasts, pork tenderloin or boneless chops. Thank you so much for posting this recipe!!!
