Servings

Ingredients

2 c 500ml barbecue sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar
3 tbsp minced garlic
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp cayenne pepper optional for a hint of spice
2 kg 4 lb baby back pork ribs
Salt to taste

Instructions

Start by spraying cooking spray in a 6-quart slow cooker to prevent sticking.
Next, discard the membrane, from the ribs before placing them in the slow cooker.
In a bowl combine barbecue sauce, brown sugar, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and cayenne (if desired). Pour half of this mixture over the ribs to ensure they're well coated. Keep the half aside for later.
Season the ribs with salt, cover them and cook on low for 7 to 9 hours or on high for 3 to 5 hours.
Once the ribs are tender transfer them to a tray lined with parchment paper.
Mix half of the juices from the cooker with the reserved sauce. Use this mixture to baste the ribs.
Place the ribs under an oven broiler set at 400°F (220°C) for 10 minutes or until they develop a slightly charred appearance.
Serve your cooked ribs with the remaining sauce, on the side. Enjoy!
