  • “wow, the smell of these was wonderful!!! I did use spicey clamato and it really kicked it up. The meat just fell off the bone and the recipe was so easy to throw together. Thanks Bergy!”

  • “Sorry but the vinegar flavor in these was overpowering. I prefer my old recipe of throwing a chopped onion, ribs and a bottle of bar-b-que sauce in the crockpot.”

  • “Everyone loved it.Doubled all except the liquid (didn’t have tomato so used water).Didn’t make the extra sauce.So good!Used real maple syrup as I could not get the lid off of the molasses jar.So many flavors that you can easily omit what you don’t have or make subtitutions and still have a flavorful result.The onions were very good with the meat. Will make again.”

  • “Delicious! I did make a few substitutions.I didn’t have tomato juice or vegetable coctail so I used 1 8 oz can of tomato sauce and 1 can of water.I didn’t have Dijon mustard to I used regular. I didn’t have poultry seasoning so I used Herbs de Provence.I also did not reserve any of the sauce.I poured all of it into the crockpot.I started with frozen ribs and cooked them 2 hours low, 2 hours on high, then 4 hours on low again. They came out great.”

  • “Everybody in the house loves these ribs; 3 very picky little girls, and none denied a second helping!”

  • “Great recipe.My whole family loved the ribs and it was so easy to fix. Thanks for sharing this recipe.”
