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

This recipe was so intriguing, I had to try it though slow cooking isn't my favorite way to prepare ribs. In our area cherry preserves are difficult to find and quite expensive, so I prefer to stick with the sauces we know and love. I just didn't think the additional expense was worth the resulting taste.

Followed recipe using boneless country-style ribs. Used "Baby Ray's" Original Sauce and the cherry preserves. The sauce was tangy with a little sweetness. Served over rice. I would make again.

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!
