Tangy Pork Baby Back Ribs

Wow this has been a weekend of creativity for me!  In the three days I have been off, I made Chocolate Peanut Butter Easter Eggs, Honey & Spicy Pork Tenderloin, Tangy Spareribs & my greatest accomplishment - a White Chocolate Easter  Basket

Today there will be two posts - on for Tangy Spareribs and then I'll devout a whole new blog to the White Chocolate Easter Basket because it was quite the undertaking!

Let's get to it.  I would like to credit my mother for finding this recipe for me in a pinch.  I have never made Spare Ribs before and was picking her brain for a recipe.  She found me this one from the Fix It and Leave It cookbook. 

The ingredients are as follows:

    3/4 cup vinegar
    1/2 cup ketchup
    2 T sugar
    2 T Worchestershire sauce
    1 garlic clove, minced
    1 tsp dry mustard
    1 tsp paprika
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/8 tsp pepper
    2 lbs ribs - I used babyback ribs
    1 T oil



This whole recipe is done in the slow cooker - hence the Fix It and Forget it cookbook ;) Start by mixing all the ingredients except the ribs and oil in the slow cooker.




Once it is mixed, heat the oil in a pan and brown the spare ribs.  Then add the spareribs to the crockpot and cook on low for 4 hours. 




It truly is that simple and absolutely delicious.  It reminds me a lot of my mom's homemade barbecue sauce that none of us can figure out the recipe too; however, this comes close - a little brown sugar and I might have it :)
