~ The more I studied beekeeping, the less I knew, until, finally, I knew nothing. But, even though I knew nothing, I still had plenty to unlearn. Charles Martin Simon
The meat was practically falling off the bone, it was so tender ! You take a bite and you can taste a sweet and spicy flavor but you’ll get some smokiness at the end of the bite. A great recipe when you’re hankering some ribs but don’t feel like cooking outdoors.
Ingredients
3 pounds bone-in country-style pork ribs
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
½ cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons stone-ground mustard
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce (we used reduced-sodium soy sauce)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon liquid smoke (we used hickory smoke)
1 teaspoons ground black pepper (we used freshly ground black pepper)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¾ teaspoon ground red pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
Directions
Take a 6-quart slow cooker out and spray the inside of it with cooking spray. Place the ribs down on the bottom of the slow cooker.
Take a medium-sized mixing bowl out and add to it the remaining ingredients (tomato paste – minced garlic), stirring to combine. Pour the tomato mixture over the ribs, turning the ribs so they get thoroughly coated in the mixture.
Place a layer of paper towels over the slow cooker, putting the lid on afterwards. Cook on LOW for 5 to 5 ½ hours or until the meat’s tender. Serve the ribs with the sauce and enjoy !
I wish we all had time to stand in front of the barbecue and have parties on the deck (or by the pool if you’re so lucky) but man, sometimes we’re just busy and need to eat! That’s when this big batch of Honey Barbecue Pulled Chicken is a lifesaver.
