Delicious Ribs in the Slow Cooker
By lizmoss71
Spare ribs in BBQ sauce recipe
Ribs are one of my favourite foods, but I have never been very good at cooking them, until I realised that I could make them in my slow cooker. I am going to give you two recipes here - one full version and one cheats version!
This is the full recipe.
- 1kg pork ribs
- 3-4 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp dark soft brown sugar
- 4 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp mustard
- 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp Worcester sauce
- 4 tbsp orange juice
Put the ribs into a large saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes. This boils of some of the fat before putting the ribs into the slow cooker.
Meanwhile, put all the other ingredients into a small saucepan and stir until well blended, then bring to the boil. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
Drain the ribs and place them in the slow cooker. Then pour on the sauce and stir to coat. Cook for 6-8 hours and the ribs will be beautiful and tender.
Serve these with a baked potato, or some rice to soak up the sauce.

The cheat's version
OK so this doesn't save a lot of time, but if you are really short of time, just put the ribs into the slow cooker with a jar or bottle of your favourite BBQ sauce. Cook for 6-8 hours and that's it!
I hope you enjoy these delicious ribs as much as my family and I do!

quick and easy summer meals, family meals, what to do with leftovers? One of my mother's most dreaded tasks as the family chef was once weekly chore of cleaning out all the left-over dribs and drabs of dinners past, and turning them into a tasty and attractive meal that, hopefully, no-one would recognize as "left-overs". One of the best lessons I took from her was don't prepare so much food that you are stuck with a lot of odds and ends. - 22 months ago
