I found the recipe very easy to make, as I was pressed for time when I made it. I would like to see Nutrition information, though, as I am counting calories for a daily total.

I too like to cook on the grill but these were very good...fallin' off the bone tender! I used about 2.5 lb of country style ribs and cut the recipe in half. There was plenty of sauce. I sprinkled the ribs with kosher salt and let them sit at room temp about 15 minutes. Seared them on all sides on covered grill with a smoker. Put in slow cooker and covered with sauce. Only thing added was about 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce. Next time may add chili power, too. Used tongs to reposition ribs twice while cooking. Cooked on high 5 hr and then reduced to low for about an hour when ready to serve. Nice use for our abundant apple butter.

The recipe looks pretty good, EXCEPT I am a TRUE BLUE LIVE FIRE COOK. I have four different size grills and a smoker that burn charcoal and wood. I cook on a grill, I don't slave over one. I will play with this recipe on a GRILL and let you know the outcome.

Hopefully by this time you have found a way to cook these on the grill...Yummy, I love the taste of food cooked on charcoal & wood. Maybe you could use these ingredients as a rub, let them marinate in this overnight in a plastic bag, then try cooking them on the grill. The rest of the ingredients as I'm sure you know is for the taste & to slow cook help tenderizes. Good Luck. :)
