Terrific!! I used bone-in country ribs and home canned sauerkraut to make this. I loved the tip about pre-baking first and the crock pot made for tender, juicy ribs that were so good. The amount of brown sugar was perfect, not too sweet but noticable. I normally just bake mine in the oven but will change to the crock pot because it was much easier and I didn't have to stay home while dinner cooked. I thought this was great as is and wouldn't change a thing. Made for PAC 2011.
