1 tablespoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 pounds country-style pork ribs, separated into single ribs

Steps:

Directions In slow cooker, whisk together ketchup, sugar, vinegar, mustard powder, cayenne, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add ribs to slow cooker, and toss with sauce.
