Great flavor but won't be a repeat. Ribs were chewy, not falling off the bone, and I followed the recipe EXACTLY. Waste of $12 worth of meat, as it went in the trash.

Served this last night - yes it can easily be adapted to the crock pot - I cooked the ribs until the meat was falling off - then added the cloves and continued to simmer. It was so good, we are going to have the leftover tonight with mashed potatoes. Easy, great recipe!

Yes, this is such a good recipe.... It is so nice to see a good review instead of people crying & bellyaching over something free all the time.... Some people really crack me up; they need to get a life & grow up....
