Salt and pepper both sides of ribs. Ribs should be brought to room temperature before adding to slow cooker.
Mix all the sauce ingredients together. Whisking is best as it helps break up the preserves and has it incorporate better into the liquids.
Place ribs into slow cooker.
Pour sauce over ribs.
Cover slow cooker and turn on to low setting for 8 hours.
Sauce should thicken some during cooking. I like a thicker sauce so at the end I remove sauce and place it in a large saucepan ,removing the crushed garlic clove.
Turn saucepan to medium high and make a thickening slurry by adding 2 tablespoons of corn starch with 2 tablespoons sauce. Mix together and add to saucepan. Whisk until thickened.
Serve over mashed potatoes or I also like to serve over buttered egg noodles.
Place ribs onto of your accompanying side and spoon over the delicious sauce. Pick your favorite vegetable to go with it.
