Honey Barbequed Spareribs

I looked for this recipe for 20 minutes and I have multiple copies of it in multiple places, so I decided to add it here too. This is a great recipe to make in bulk for the freezer. If it is too much for the crockpot, do it overnight in the oven at 200 degrees for the first cooking and freeze the ribs, then cook them in the sauce when you are ready to eat them. I changed the original recipe to double the amount of sauce because we like to have enough for gravy over the rice which always accompanies this meal.

3 pounds (or so) country style pork spareribs
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 cup catsup
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup honey
1/2 cup spicy brown mustard
4 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp liquid smoke

Place ribs in crockpot. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours.
Drain off juice (I save it to use as stock).
Combine remaining ingredients and pour over ribs. Reduce heat to low and cook 3 more hours.
