Slow-Cooker Ribs
Do you wish you could have ribs, but the weather isn't cooperating so you can't grill? (That rarely happens here in Florida). Or some days, you just can't deal with the smoker, or roasting in the oven before you grill them to perfection. At least, that was always my method for ribs. Well, enter my husband, who is not a cook but, if inspired, will put together a pretty awesome dinner. He's actually gotten quite good over the years. I'd like to think I had a positive influence. He used to do this with regular old store-bought barbecue sauce. But as you know, since I've changed almost everything about what I cook and eat, those brands' ingredients just don't cut it for me anymore. I've learned to live without the corn syrup and other junk.
Then I found these two brands of barbecue sauce which recently came onto the market and I swear I heard angels singing in the aisles of the grocery store.
