I found this recipe in my Taste of Home Slow Cooker book and we tried it tonight. I thought the ribs were excellent and they were sooooo tender. The only change I made was to reduce the vinegar to 1/2 C as I was afraid it would be too strong using more vinegar. For us, this was perfect so I would leave that change in place. Thanks for posting.

DH and I enjoyed this. I made it without paprika because I didn't have any, and it was still good. Next time I might put a rub on this after its done cooking and before I eat it.

I have loved this recipe for years...can't remember where I originally found it though. Thank you so much for posting it as it is a family favorite!

The ribs were extremely tender and juicy. I thought the sauce was too vinegary, but that's just an adjustment easily made. I also like the sauce to be a little thicker, but I think that's hard to do in a slow cooker.
