I created this sauce 45 years ago when I adapted a recipe I saw in a magazine. The original called for much more oil. I usually triple the sauce and keep some in my freezer to use on chicken , beef or pork. —Barbara Gerriets of Topeka, Kansas

Prepared the sauce at night, the next morning, put everything in the slow cooker on Low before going to work. Great flavor, not too sweet or too spicy. Meat just falls apart. Family loved it!

These are the best. The sauce is simple to make and very tasty. The first time I made them I replaced the cover after each 20 minute basting and I thought they were a little on the soggy side. I wanted something more like what you would get in a restaurant. So when making them after that, I put the cover back on only for the first 20 minutes. I then removed the cover and basted them, baked for 20 minutes and then turned them, basted again and baked them for the final 20 minutes. The ribs were a little firmer (still falling apart) and the sauce was thicker and stuck to the ribs better (like in a restaurant). Really great like that!!!!

made this tonight for dinner and it was a huge hit! I added honey to the sauce as others had and it really turned out great!

Making again for the second time tonight. Great flavor, meat simply fell apart it was so tender. I made a triple batch for a large crowd the first time I made this and the meat that was cooking in the glass pan was much more tender than that in the metal pan. Will make this over and over again. Everyone wanted the recipe.

These ribs were so good! I am usually not a fan of country style pork ribs, but this recipe has totally changed my mind. The ribs were very tender and the sauce delicious! Even the picky eaters in the family wanted more! Will definately make again and again!

These ribs are wonderful! ANd the sauce was so good that I often just make it by itself to go on chicken and other meals! The only thing that I changed was the cooking time. I cooked mine for 4 hours total and they were bascially falling apart and were so juicy and tender! Great recipe thanks for sharing :)

I loved this rib recipe and it worked out great on my food plan. I added 1TB spoon of honey to the sauce. I will make this again and again.

These were the best ribs I have ever made! My mom taught me to boil the meat in water first so I wasn't surprised when I saw that this recipe said to do so. I halved the recipe because I was only making for two but everything turned out wonderful. I added honey to the barbecue sauce and it reminded me of something I would taste in a restaurant. I will definitely make these again.

I love these ribs because they're boneless. It's so easy to get the ingredients together for this recipe, and it's low-maintence because you stick it in the oven and walk away. I will definitely make this recipe many times more!
