Fred's Slow Cooked Barbecued Country-Style Ribs

Karen and Fred cooked this one at our ski trip in Stratton this past January (2010).

3 to 4 pound boneless pork country stule ribs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 large onions, halved, thinly sliced
1 cup apple juice
1 - 2 bottles of "Bullseye" Barbecue sauce
1/2 teaspoon Cayenne red pepper
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/8 cup honey

- Lightly grease the crockery insert of a 5 to 6 quart slow cooker.
- Wash pork, trim excess fat and pat dry with paper towels.
- Put the sliced onions in the bottom of the slow cooker and then place the pork on top.
- Sprinkle the pork with all spices (salt, pepper, cayenne, cinnamon and cumin), brown sugar and minced garlic; turn the pork ribs to coat all pieces.
- Pour apple juice evenly over the pork, along with honey.
- Cover and cook on LOW for seven hours.
- Drain liquids from the pork.
- Pour Barbecue sauce over the pork and stir slightly to distribute the sauce.
- Cover and cook on LOW for two hours longer.
