Directions:Combine rib ingredients in small bowl and rub on both sides of the ribs, focusing on the meaty side. Because of the way the ribs are in the slow cooker, it is best to leave the membrane on or they will break apart when you remove them.
To make the sauce, mix all ingredients in a small saucepan and heat over medium high until boiling. Pour over ribs, cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
After 6 hours, remove ribs (meaty side down) and place them on a rack which has been placed on a foil-covered baking sheet. Tent with foil and strain the juices left in the slow cooker into a small saucepan. Let the sauce sit for about 5 minutes and then skim off as much fat as you can. Bring the remaining liquid to a boil and reduce over medium heat until about halved in volume (10-15 minutes).
Brush ribs with sauce and place 10 inches below boiler (lower-middle rack) and broil on high for 3 minutes. Remove from oven, carefully flip, and brush meaty side liberally with sauce. Put under broiler for 9 minutes, removing every 2 or 3 minutes to baste with more sauce. Serve any remaining sauce on the side. |
