Once all pork in the slow cooker, sprinkle spice mix & 1 1/2 cups of BBQ sauce over the ribs. Give it all a stir so that spice mix and BBQ sauce spreads evenly over ribs Place lid on slow cooker and cook on slow for about 6 hours. Once cooked remove ribs from slow cooker and place on plate.

(regular) paprika 1/8-1/4 tsp. cumin 1-2 TB of diced chipotle pepper for smokiness and heat alternatively you can use ground chipotle > approx 1/4 teaspoon (you can always add more if you need to) DIRECTIONS: Put the ketchup, water, and half the brown sugar and/or honey into a small saucepan over low heat. Stir to combine. Add the remaining ingredients (if there is a range use the smallest amount first) and stir to combine. Turn the heat up to medium low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes. Stir often. Give the sauce a taste and if desired add the remaining higher amounts of ingredients (such as more apple cider vinegar, more cumin, more ground mustard, more molasses). Let it cook for another 2-3, stirring frequently and taste again. Adjust the flavors if needed by adding more of any of spices listed above. Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes until the sauce has reduced and thickened. Store in a glass jar. This will keep in the fridge for up to 10 days
