Saweet!

Remember THIS? Well...Brad and Sandra shared the recipe AND another mason jar with us A LOOOONNNG time ago (Thanks, guys!) and I've been saving them for a rainy day. Let's call today a rainy day. (It was a smidge drizzly. Right? Right.) I was in a ribs mood, so I said, "Self? I bet Brad and Sandra's canned yumminess would be AWESOME over some ribs."

First, the sauce...

"Thai Hot and Sweet Sauce" (Yields 9 (8 oz) jars.)


~1/2 C finely chopped garlic
~1 T salt
~b c cider vinegar
~6c sugar
~1/2 c hot pepper flakes

Boil vinegar and dissolve in sugar.
Reduce heat and boil for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat; add garlic mixture and hot pepper flakes.


"Thai Hot and Sweet Ribs" (6 quart pot)

~3 lbs bone-in pork ribs
~8 oz Thai hot and sweet dipping sauce

Place ribs in crock pot.
Pour sauce on top.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.

(I served them with a side salad from the CSA.)

"Self" was right. Delicious. Sweet, spicy, falling off the bone ribs. Mmm...
