Right Lisa; Some Magical Animal...

I enjoy pork ribs but I've never been a fan of BBQ sauce. So I was quite happy with a recipe for ribs that I found online and then tried last night. The meat was savory with a hint of sweetness and it was literally falling off the bones as a I pulled it out of the crock pot. Give it a whirl if you would like a change up to BBBQ (The extra B is for BYOBB).

Why's that "B" there?
That's a typo.

2 cups cranberries (8 oz)
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup water
1 Granny Smith apple - diced (~1 cup)
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
3-4 lbs pork ribs
1 large onion (sliced)

1) Combine cranberries, syrup, brown sugar, water, and apple in saucepan; bring to a boil
2) Reduce heat to Med-Low and simmer for 5 minutes
3) Stir in mustard, cinnamon, and nutmeg
4) Layer onion at the bottom of the crock pot
5) Place ribs on top of onion then ladle sauce into crock pot to distribute it evenly
6) Cook on low for 7-9 hrs.

Optional - drain juices in crock pot into a sauce pan. Heat to boiling and mix in 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 1-2 tbsp of water. Stir until sauce is thickened and serve over top of ribs.
