Recipe: Honey Ribs and Rice (Rival crock pot recipe)

HONEY RIBS AND RICE

2 lbs. extra lean pork back ribs
1 (10 1/2 oz) can condensed beef consomme
1/2 cup water
2 Tbsp. maple syrup
2 Tbsp. honey
3 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 Tbsp. BBQ sauce
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1 1/2 cups quick cooking rice (Minute Rice)

If ribs are fatty, place on broiler rack and broil for 15 to 20 minutes, drain well. Otherwise, wash ribs and pat dry. Cut ribs into single servings.

Combine remaining ingredients, except rice in Crock-pot; stir to mix. Add ribs.

Cover and cook on Low setting for 6 to 8 hours (or on High setting for 3 to 4 hours). Remove ribs and keep warm.

Turn Crock pot to High setting; add 1 1/2 cups rice. Cover and cook until done.

Serve rice on warm platter surrounded by ribs.

Makes 4 servings (about 2 quarts)
