Cook these succulent ribs all day in your crock pot, then when you get home from work, grill them until browned and crispy. What a delicious and easy meal!
Country-style pork ribs have more meat than regular spareribs and are usually sold without the bone. They are very tender when cooked for a long time and the meat practically falls apart. They are delicious in this easy recipe with your own homemade barbecue sauce.
Serve this hearty recipe with some grilled corn on the cob, some coleslaw, and lots of soda pop and beer to drink.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds country-style pork ribs
- 1 onion (chopped)
- 4 cloves garlic (sliced)
- 1 cup apple juice
- 1 cup water
- 2/3 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/4 cup apple jelly
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Salt (to taste)
- Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
Steps to Make It
-
Gather the ingredients.
-
In a 4-quart crock pot, place the country-style pork ribs, the onion, and the garlic.
-
Bring the apple juice and the water to a boil in a saucepan or microwave oven.
-
Pour over the ribs.
-
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or until the meat is very tender.
-
Prepare and heat the charcoal or gas grill for medium heat. Combine the barbecue sauce, apple jelly, honey, salt, pepper, and oregano in a small saucepan and heat until the jelly melts, stirring frequently.
-
Place ribs on the heated grill 6 inches from heat and brush with the sauce mixture.
-
Grill the meat for 20 minutes until ribs are browned, turning often and brushing frequently with sauce as they grill.
