Slow Cooker Country Style Ribs Recipe
Description
The Slow Cooker Country Style Ribs Recipe centers on boneless pork ribs seasoned with a blend of brown sugar, onion powder, garlic salt, and paprika. The ribs are slow-cooked in a sauce made from peach preserves, honey, and BBQ sauce for 6 to 8 hours on low, which allows the meat to become tender and fully infused with sweetness and depth. The combination of savory spices and fruity preserves offers a balanced flavor profile.
After slow cooking, there is an option to broil the ribs briefly to add caramelization and a lightly browned crust to the meat, enhancing both texture and flavor. The ribs can be served over mashed potatoes or rice with the remaining sauce spooned on top, making the dish hearty and comforting.
Using a larger slow cooker with enough space to fit the ribs in a single layer ensures even cooking. Broiling is optional but recommended if you prefer a crispier finish. For cleanup ease, using a crock pot liner is suggested. The recipe advises against high cooking settings to maintain tenderness.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds country-style pork ribs boneless
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup peach preserves
- ½ cup honey
- 1 ½ cups BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Place the ribs in your crock pot.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar, onion powder, garlic salt, and paprika over the ribs.
- Combine the peach preserves, honey, and BBQ sauce in a medium bowl.
- Pour the sauce over the ribs.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- Optional: Put the cooked ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet and baste with some of the sauce from the slow cooker. Place the ribs under the broiler for about 5 minutes until lightly browned.
- Garnish with parsley and serve over mashed potatoes or rice with the sweet, rich sauce spooned on top.
Notes
- Cook ribs on low heat to preserve tenderness; high heat is not recommended.
- Using a crock pot liner will simplify cleanup.
- Broiling after slow cooking is optional but adds caramelization and flavor.
- Use a slow cooker with at least 5-quart capacity to fit ribs in one layer; reduce quantity if using a smaller cooker.
