A sweet, rich sauce makes these ribs so tender that the meat literally falls off the bones. And the aroma is wonderful. Yum! —Tanya Reid, Winston-Salem, North Carolina

I cooked the ribs without sauce in the slow cooker for 2 hours, drained off all the liquid, and then spooned sauce over each rib portion, put them back in the slow cooker for about 2 more hours. When we were ready to eat I put the ribs in the oven at 450 with the sauce from the cooker for about 20 minutes to heat through. The sauce was not runny when cooked this way. Delicious!!!!

This is the second time I made this, only after 6 hours I finished them off on the grill. I slathered sweet baby rays sauce on for the finishing touch.

Slow cooker caught my eye as I have more energy in the mornings, I look for these types of recipes. The flavor was wonderful and meat fell from the bones. Will for sure keep this recipe as a favorite.

Awesome recipe! Loved the sauce. I used the country style ribs, Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce, and peach preserves. Falling off the bone after 6 hours. Would not change a thing. Finger lickin' good!

Used Peach preserves--yum. Have also used the same sauce on chicken wings--also a hit!

These were awesome. Cooked for 8 hours and they were perfect. Even my picky husband loved them. The sauce is great served over mashed potatoes.
