Known as ‘Finger-Licking Amish Delight,’ these ribs are so popular I’ve made them three times this week, and they disappear faster than I can serve them!

Directions

1. Start by cutting the pork ribs into manageable sections, about 3-4 ribs per piece.
2. In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if using.
3. Place the ribs in the slow cooker and pour the sauce mixture over them, ensuring they are well coated.
4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the ribs are tender and the meat is falling off the bone.
5. Once cooked, remove the ribs from the slow cooker and place them on a baking sheet.
6. Preheat your oven’s broiler and broil the ribs for 3-5 minutes, just until they start to caramelize and become sticky.
7. Serve hot, drizzling any remaining sauce from the slow cooker over the ribs.

Variations & Tips

For a touch of smokiness, try adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the sauce. If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the cayenne pepper or add a dash of hot sauce. You can also experiment with different types of mustard or add a splash of bourbon for a deeper flavor. For a more traditional Amish twist, consider using sorghum syrup in place of some of the brown sugar.
