Categories     Pork

Time 2h25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (398 ml) cans tomato sauce
1 cup orange juice
1 onion, finely chopped
1 celery, finely chopped
1/4 cup cider vinegar
3 tablespoons honey or 3 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
6 lbs pork back ribs or 6 lbs side pork ribs
1 head garlic
2 jalapenos or 2 chili peppers, with seeds, finely chopped
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons regular paprika or 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon salt

Steps:

  • At least a day before serving, in a large saucepan, stir tomato sauce with orange juice, onion, celery, vinegar, honey and ginger.
  • Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally to develop flavour, about 1 hour.
  • Stir often near end of cooking. Cool slightly then puree.
  • Working in batches, purée in a blender and pour into bowl or jar.
  • Cover and refrigerate at least overnight or up to 3 days.
  • Meanwhile, slice pork into four-rib portions and place in a very large bowl.
  • Finely chop or mince garlic. Finely chop jalapeño including seeds.
  • Place garlic and jalapeños in a small bowl.
  • Stir in oil, paprika and salt. Rub over ribs. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • About 3 hours before serving, preheat oven to 375F (190C).
  • Place ribs in a very large roasting pan. Pour sauce overtop. Turn to evenly coat. It's ok if ribs overlap.
  • Cover tightly with foil. Bake in centre of oven for 1 1/2 hours. Remove and discard foil. Turn ribs, spooning sauce overtop. Continue baking, turning ribs occasionally and basting, until very tender, from 1 to 11/2 hours.
  • Remove pan to a heatproof surface. Place ribs on a platter. Spoon sauce in pan over ribs.
  • For the ultimate comfort dinner, serve with baked or mashed potatoes and corn.

Tips:

  • Choose country-style pork ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of fat. This will help them stay moist during cooking.
  • Trim the ribs of any excess fat, but leave some fat on the bones for flavor.
  • Use a slow cooker with a lid that fits tightly to keep the ribs moist.
  • Don't crowd the ribs in the slow cooker. They should be able to lay in a single layer.
  • Add enough liquid to cover the ribs halfway. You can use chicken broth, water, or a combination of both.
  • Add your favorite spices and seasonings to the slow cooker. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Cook the ribs on low for 6-8 hours, or until they are fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Serve the ribs with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or coleslaw.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker sweet and sour country ribs are an easy and delicious meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and satisfying. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, give this recipe a try.
