The sauce was a little thin, but they had good flavor. Even my husband who really doesn't like ribs had a second helping. -
I think these WERE the best crock pot ribs. I used the left-over for shredded pork sandwiches. Thank you for the recipe. So yummy! -
I had just under 4.5lbs of ribs, made the recipe exact except that I didn't have apple butter - I had apple jelly, so I used that - I figured it would give it a thicker sauce. Not so. The sauce was very soupy, and the ribs pretty much boiled in it. I think I'd just use a bottle of bbq sauce next time - less time and less money. Parts of the ribs were dry. -
These were very good! Love the flavor and was very easy to make. Thanks for sharing the recipe :) -
The flavor of this ribs was FANTASTIC! They don't taste like a traditional BBQ rib but the sauce is great over cooked rice. A true keeper.
