Known as ‘Finger-Licking Amish Delight,’ these ribs are so popular I’ve made them three times this week, and they disappear faster than I can serve them!

In the heart of the Midwest, where the fields stretch far and wide, the Amish community has long been known for their simple, yet deeply flavorful cooking. These slow cooker Amish sticky pork ribs are a testament to that tradition, blending sweet and savory in a way that warms the soul. Passed down through generations, this recipe is perfect for those who cherish the slow, gentle art of cooking. It’s a dish that brings families together, evoking memories of Sunday dinners and the comforting aroma of home-cooked meals wafting through the house. If you’re looking to bring a touch of Midwestern nostalgia to your table, these ribs are just the ticket.
These sticky pork ribs are best enjoyed with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or buttery corn on the cob, both of which soak up the delicious sauce beautifully. A crisp coleslaw or a fresh garden salad can add a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors of the ribs. And don’t forget a slice of homemade bread to mop up every last bit of that sticky goodness.
