Ingredients
- 3 pounds Country-style pork ribs
- 0.5 cups Maple syrup
- 0.25 cups Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cups Water
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the ribs. If necessary, trim any excess fat from the country-style pork ribs.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and water until the mixture is well combined.
Step 3
Place the ribs into the crock pot in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Step 4
Pour the maple sauce mixture evenly over the ribs, coating them thoroughly.
Step 5
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on 'Low' for 8 hours, or on 'High' for 4-5 hours. For the most tender and flavorful results, cooking on 'Low' is recommended.
Step 6
During the last 30 minutes of cooking, check the ribs for tenderness. They should be fork-tender and easily pull apart.
Step 7
Optional: For a caramelized finish, remove the ribs from the crock pot and place them on a baking sheet. Brush them with some of the sauce from the crock pot, then broil in the oven for 3-5 minutes or until lightly browned.
Step 8
Serve the ribs hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or roasted vegetables. Drizzle the reserved sauce over the ribs for extra flavor if desired.
