Orange Chipotle Ribs, Slow Cooker Delight

Good Morning! Today I am sharing a recipe before I have the photo. Not normal for me..I usually take great care to wait until the dish is done and take the painstaking process to get a great shot to complete the post. Today I decided to post the recipe so you can cook along with me! The Recipe is so good and the sauce smells outstanding so I know it will be a Winner!! So here ya go!

Orange Chipotle Ribs

Ingredients:

3 pounds Ribs
(can use Pork, Beef, or even Boneless Pork Cubes, That's what I used)
1/2 cup Ketchup
1/4 cup Orange Marmalade
4 oz Orange Juice
1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
2 tblsp Soy Sauce
3 tbsp Brown Sugar
4 Garlic Cloves minced (Try to use fresh here. It really makes a difference)
2 tsp Chipotle in Adobo (I used 1 pepper minced and 2 tsp sauce)
1/2 tsp Cumin
1/4 tsp Ginger (opt. Also try to use fresh)

**Note on some things: I used Boneless Pork Cubes.(they were partially frozen) I used Chipotle in Adobo (but you can use Chipotle Chili Powder). I used Bluebird Orange Juice (ya know those little cans? I keep em in the house just for this reason ;).This recipe is versatile..Work with what you have in the house.

Instructions:
Using a 6 Quart Crock Pot  Place Met in bottom of Crock Pot, no need to sear meat. I actually put the meat in the crock pot a lil frozen...
In a bowl combine all sauce ingredients.
Pour sauce over meat and cover.
Cook in crock pot on low for 8 hours or high for 4-5.

Meat will come out tender and Sauce divine!!
Serve with Rice and fresh veg.

**If you are using a bone in rib, the meat should be fall off the bone tender. If you like the meat to stay on the bone cook a little less. Reduce cooking time by an hour or so.

Enjoy!!

Chris & Amy's Kitchen BBQ

Unless you've been living under a rock the last few weeks, You know this has been a record setting Winter.

New England and all of the Northeast corridor U.S. have experienced a Winter like no other. Thus my idea for the Winter Revolt. A wonderful Connecticut Couple took me up on this Revolt and dove in with vigor!

They had a BBQ in the Kitchen! Complete with Corn on the Cob, Watermelon and Spiked Lemonade!

Meet Chris and Amy from A Couple in the Kitchen.

Chris and Amy decided even though Amy was battling a Cold that they were determined to bring some Summer into their life! And boy they did! Their recipe is a wonderful blend of bright flavor and BBQ goodness that sings Summertime! They decided as their BBQ was buried under a ton of snow that they would  Oven Bake their Spicy Honey Mustard BBQ Ribs to a mouthwatering and fall off the bone tenderness! 

Amy adorned her table with a bright Yellow Tablecloth and Bright Summery tableware.

The Winter Blues were not stopping their wonderful triumph.

Thank You Amy and Chris for a Wonderful Summer in the Kitchen BBQ! You are a tribute to Winter Revolutionaries all over the country! Join A Couple in the Kitchen and grab their recipe for these Mouth Watering Spicy Honey Mustard BBQ Ribs!
