These ribs had a nice subtle blend of sweet/tart/smoky flavors, and they fell off the bone. I cut the liquid smoke in half and replaced the brown sugar with Splenda and molasses. My slow cooker tends to dry things out, so I also added 1/2 cup water. When I got home, I thickened the sauce with cornstarch and served over mashed potatoes. Yummy! The next day, I shredded the meat into bowls and added some of the gravy, a bit of water and a handful of frozen peas, and microwaved for an instant stew. Delicious again!Reply

I made these yesterday and couldn't wait to get home from to work to test them. The meat was so tender, and the sauce ingredients blended nicely so it was a bit sweet, but you couldn't tell it was apple butter. I also threw in some quartered redskins. I thought I'd have leftovers but my boyfriend finished them up. Will be making these again.1Reply
