So I was thrilled when I got a slab of ribs for
Tip, via my fabulous sister: Wrap the ribs in foil and cook them on low in your crockpot all day. By dinnertime, the meat will be falling off the bones and all you have to do is slather it with sauce and pop it in the broiler to caramelize the sauce a bit. To. Die. For. Or you can serve the sauce on the side. Or both! The same technique works for frozen chops as well. Easy squeezy!
I love this sauce so much that I multiplied the recipe by a lot and canned it so we'd always have it on hand. Here is the expanded recipe. Enough for your own pantry and gifts as well.
