Spareribs are marinated in honey, Worcestershire, garlic, and ginger, then cooked in the crockpot for tender ribs. Plan a day in advance to marinate the pork ribs.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 7 hours, 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1-1/2 cups honey
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed and peeled
  • 1 Tablespoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons Tabasco
  • 6 pounds spareribs

Preparation:

In a medium, nonreactive saucepan slowly heat brown sugar, honey, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce until sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and add garlic, salt, ginger, and Tabasco. Stir until completely combined. Let cool to room temperature.

Divide the spareribs between 2 (2-gallon) resealable plastic bags. Pour half the marinade into each bag, press out air and seal. Refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours. Turn over two or three times while marinating.

Place the ribs and marinade in slow-cooker; marinade will not cover all the ribs. Cover and cook on Low for 7 to 8 hours. About halfway through cooking time, carefully reverse ribs so that they all cook part of the time in the liquid. Meat is done when it is tender and falling off the bone.

Yield: 6 to 8 servings.
