a recipe for the crockpot (slow cooker)

Rinse the spare ribs under cold water and trim any excess fat. Place the meat in the crockpot. Mix the remaining ingredients well and pour over the spare ribs. Set the crockpot to “low” and cook for about 9-10 hours. Note: The cooking time depends somewhat on the texture of the ribs and personal preference—check the pot after about 8 hours. You can also line the bottom of the pot with a few onion rings to prevent sticking.
