I made this recipe for dinner last night and ended having an impromptu dinner party and everyone LOVED these ribs. I actually had about 6 pounds of ribs and they worked well with the same amount of sauce. I strained some of the sauce to get all the yummy onions and garlic and added some of the juices back in to serve on top. This was a big hit and I will make it again many times I am sure. Thanks for posting! -
I made this recipe because there was a sale on country-stly pork ribs, and becuase I had half a bottle of apple jelly that was never going to be finished off. This recipe was very easy, and the whole family ate it, even my picky 8 year old. I had a little less than 4 lbs of meat, but with rice and vegetables we were able to make a filling meal for 7 people. Now I will go out and buy apple jelly for this recipe. -
This recipe caught my eye with the apple butter. I make my own apple and added it - the sauce was really good! The meat fell off the ribs - just be sure to pass the sauce at the table! This is one I will make again and again! -
Loved this recipe, particularly since you don't have to brown the ribs prior to putting them in the crockpot. Cutting the ribs apart was the hardest part of this easy-to-fix recipe. I didn't have apple butter, so I used a bit of applesauce instead, and used two tablespoons of frozen orange concentrate instead of the juice. I made rice with this, and spread the sauce over it. My picky mother-in-law took the recipe home with her.
