Thanks! They are so easy and so tasty!
I’ve never used Apricot preserves before, is there something else I could use, I don’t have any in the house? Does it change the taste a lot? Do you think mixing a spicy bbq sauce with a sweet bbq sauce would taste okay?e never cook ribs in the crock pot before, I usually cook them on the stove, then sauce them and broil them in oven. They don’t always get tender?
Yes, you could certainly just to bbq sauce or try another flavor of jam or preserves.
