Crock Pot Country Ribs

This is a wonderful tasty dish for those rainy days ahead. It has a mellow flavor and the meat is succulent but for some it may need a bit of hot sauce (I added 2 tbsp to the sauce).

Everyone loved it. Doubled all except the liquid (didn't have tomato so used water). Didn't make the extra sauce. So good! Used real maple syrup as I could not get the lid off of the molasses jar. So many flavors that you can easily omit what you don't have or make subtitutions and still have a flavorful result. The onions were very good with the meat. Will make again.

Delicious! I did make a few substitutions. I didn't have tomato juice or vegetable coctail so I used 1 8 oz can of tomato sauce and 1 can of water. I didn't have Dijon mustard to I used regular. I didn't have poultry seasoning so I used Herbs de Provence. I also did not reserve any of the sauce. I poured all of it into the crockpot. I started with frozen ribs and cooked them 2 hours low, 2 hours on high, then 4 hours on low again. They came out great.
