IN THE POT | SAUCY SLOW COOKER RIBS & HOMEMADE BBQ SAUCE

We love a good saucy rib in this house and whenever I’m on the internet searching for a new recipe I try to keep an eye out for a new recipe to try.  I came across this recipe and I immediately loved it because it didn’t involve “pour contents of BBQ sauce bottle on ribs and cook”.

I’m so tired of the recipes that just involve opening a jar/bottle and pouring it all over whatever it is you’re cooking.  It’s lazy (although granted at times it can be a life saver!) and a lot of the time it doesn’t taste nearly as good as homemade.

This was my first time making a barbeque sauce from scratch and it didn’t go too badly.  It’s definitely not as sickly sweet as bottled barbeque sauce can be and I kind of like that.

I served the ribs with our version of a potato bake and it was a really quick and easy meal that packed a lot of flavour.  I think this would be a great meal to do for a family BBQ.  I’ll be definitely doing it again!IMG_5279…homemade BBQ sauce…

Barbeque sauce

1 cup ketchup

1/4 cup white vinegar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/8 teaspoon ground allspice

1 pinch celery salt

1 pinch mustard powder

1.  Combine ketchup, vinegar, sugar, onion, and lemon juice in a small saucepan.

2.  Season with Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, allspice, celery salt, and mustard powder.

3.  Simmer over medium low heat for 5 minutes.

Saucy Slow-Cooker Ribs

1kg Pork Baby Back Ribs
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups of barbecue sauce
1 (8oz) jar of cherry jam
1 TBS of Dijon mustard
1/4 tps salt

1.  Rub pepper over ribs. Cut ribs into pieces that will fit in your slow cooker. Place ribs in slow cooker.

2.  Combine barbecue sauce, jam, mustard, and salt in a bowl pour over ribs.IMG_5298

3.  Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. (The longer you can cook them the better they are! I also would periodically spoon the sauce back over the ribs while they were cooking to help with the caramelization.)

4.  Serve with sauce, salad and paper towels!
