Directions
In the slow cooker combine the onion, 1/2-cup hoisin, and the next 5 ingredients and mix well. Add ribs and toss to thoroughly coat. Cover slow cooker and cook until tender, about 5 hours on low.
Preheat broiler to high or a grill to medium-high. In a small bowl, combine remaining 1/4-cup hoisin sauce and honey and mix well.
Transfer ribs to a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet in an even layer. Brush with hoisin mixture and broil ribs until golden brown and sauce is caramelized, about 3 to 5 minutes. If using a grill, cook, turning once, until caramelized, about 5 minutes.
*Chinese 5-Spice Powder: Long a staple in Chinese cooking, this spice blend includes peppercorns, star anise, cloves, cinnamon and fennel. This blend encompasses all five flavours-sweet, sour, bitter, pungent, and salty. Look for it in the spice aisle of larger grocery stores.
Make your own spice mix: Combine 1 tsp Szechwan pepper or ground black pepper, 1 tsp ground star anise, 1 tsp ground fennel seeds, 1/2 tsp ground cloves and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon. Store unused spice mix in an airtight container, in a cool dry place.

How about being specific in the amount of sugar, as more and more people are diabetics?

what was the * for where it listed chinese 5-spice
Hi Desiree. Thanks for your note. We’ve updated the recipe to include the 5-Spice info. Let us know how it turns out! ~blake
give this recipe only 2 stars. Odd taste to us. Perhaps it is the chinese 5 spice that seems foreign.
