Preparation

Step 1

In medium bowl, mix all sauce ingredients; set aside.

Spray 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Place pork in slow cooker. Spoon about 1 1/2 cups sauce evenly over sections. Reserve remaining sauce; refrigerate.

Cover; cook on Low heat setting 6 to 7 hours (or on High heat setting 3 hours to 3 hours 30 minutes) or until almost tender.

Remove pork from slow cooker; drain and discard cooking liquid. Return pork to slow cooker; spoon reserved sauce evenly over each section. If cooking on High heat setting, reduce to Low. Cover; cook 1 hour longer.

Expert Tips:
Some butchers will cut the ribs into sections for you, if you ask. This will save time and the mess of working with the raw meat. Save even more time by starting with a bottled barbecue sauce—you need 2 2/3 cups.
