I added a handful of dried apricots and a sliced onion to the mix. It was wonderful served with simple mashed potatoes and fresh asparagus. I have plenty of leftovers to shred and serve on buns. I would add a bit of thai hot sauce or dried pepper flakes next time for a kick, but I just put some on the table to add.http://finerkitchens.com/swap/forum1/75350_CrockpotCountry_Ribs
