Slow-Cooked Pork Spare Ribs

My father is not one to compliment me. He thinks it'll make me soft, but these ribs made him putty in my hands. I have never seen him so eager to steal food off the plates of other people.

Father's Weak Spot:

• 3 lb rack Spareribs
• 1.5 tsp Smoked Paprika
• 1 tsp Thyme (dried)
• 1 tsp Coarse Kosher Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
• 1/4 tsp Cayenne
• Fresh Thyme (3-4 Sprigs) / Sage (4-5 leaves)
• 1.5 Tbs Brown Sugar
• 1.5 Tbs Worcestershire
• 1 Tb Cider vinegar

Cut the spareribs in sections of 3-4 ribs and set aside. Gather the spices and ground together in a small bowl. Generously rub the top of the ribs with the seasoning mix. Place the ribs into a 5 qt Slow Cooker. Sprinkle with additional kosher salt. Arrange the fresh thyme and sage leaves over the meat. Cook on Low (7-8 hours) or High (3-4 hours).

Now to glaze the ribs!

Once your ribs are about to fall off the bone, take them out of the slow cooker. Discard the liquid fat and fresh herbs. Mix together brown sugar, Worcestershire, and cider vinegar. Slather that beautiful sticky syrup onto the meet and cook for another 30 minutes on High. Now go impress someone!
