Ingredients
Honey-Braised Ribs
- 3½ baby back ribs (1 smallish rack)
- ¾ cup honey
- 1½ tsp. paprika
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 tsp. salt
Instructions
IN THE MORNING: Cut the rack of ribs between the bones into individual ribs and put them in the slow cooker. Drizzle in the honey. In a cup, combine the paprika, cinnamon, cumin and salt and sprinkle the mixture over the ribs, turning them with your hand to coat them with the honey and spices. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
IN THE EVENING: Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer the ribs to a platter. Spoon some of the cooking liquid over them. Serve over sautéed broccoli.
