Country style pork ribs are meaty, inexpensive and sooo delicious.  These do beautifully in a slow cooker (be sure to brown them well before placing in the cooker)  and when cooked this way create a lot of luscious gravy.   I make a lot of them and freeze  portions in my FlavorSaver vacuum sealer bags for a ready meal. 


BARBEQUED COUNTRY STYLE PORK RIBS

2 1/2 lbs. boneless country style pork ribs trimmed
salt and pepper
3 Tbsp. vegetable oil (not olive oil)
1 very small onion cut in slices
1 1/2 cup KC Masterpiece Hot and Spicy BBQ Sauce, or your favorite bbq sauce
1/4 cup asian style sweet/hot chili sauce or chili sauce and 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1/3 cup orange marmalade
1 Tbsp. Worchestershire sauce
1 Tbsp. yellow prepared mustard or vinegar
1/3 cup broth or water
METHOD:
Be sure to trim most of the fat from the ribs. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
In a skillet heat vegetable oil and brown the ribs well on all sides. When nearly browned add the onions.
In the meantime, mix all other ingredients in a small bowl.
Remove ribs from skillet and put them into the slow cooker.
Add the sauce mixture to the skillet and heat til simmering then pour over the ribs being sure to cover all the ribs with sauce.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 3 hours or on low for  5 hours. They should be very tender. 

FOR DUTCH OVEN: Prepare as directed in the Dutch oven instead of a skillet. Proceed with the rest of the directions, then roast covered in a 325 degree oven for 2 hours.
