Slow Cooker Carolina BBQ Sauce for Ribs

Slow Cooker Carolina BBQ Sauce for Barbecue Spare Ribs is a vinegar based sauce with a touch of sweetness meant to be served on my Carolina Ribs.

2016-04-02 17.38.46

Once you have made the BBQ Pork Spare Ribs Rub, it is time to make your barbecue sauce, as you will need some of the Pork Rub for this recipe. This sauce is adapted for the Slow Cooker from the Neely’s recipe for the stove top.

The sauce is a vinegar/acidic sauce and pairs with the BBQ Pork Rib Rub Recipe, for my BBQ Pork Spare Ribs. It is very important to note that on its own, this sauce tastes too acidic and too vinegary, so, please don’t taste it and judge…….yet!!!!

Once you pair it with my BBQ Pork Ribs, you will feel the love. It’s like Sonny without Cher (not the other way around), or a warm bath, without bubbles. Know what I mean?

Yes, I know, there are a lot of ingredients here, but, the good news, is that, if you make the whole recipe, you can freeze half for next time. That’s what I do!

20160402_165519

Dump everything into your slow cooker and let it do its magic and give it a good whisk to combine. I have a small slow cooker, that I love using for sauces.

20160402_165532

Cook on High for one hour and then reduce the setting to Low or Warm. If your slow cooker is one of the newer ones, the Low temperature may be higher than the Low temperature on the old Rival Crock Pot units. If that is the case, just turn it to Warm after the first hour and/or adjust the Low and Warm, back and forth, until you get a very low simmer.
