Equipment

Ingredients

1 Tbsp cumin
1 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp paprika I used smoked paprika
1 Tbsp chili powder
¼ tsp mace
1 Tbsp salt
1 tsp pepper
¾ tsp garlic powder
2 ½ lbs. baby back pork ribs
1 cup bbq sauce
½ cup ketchup
¼ cup white vinegar
¼ cup yellow mustard
2 tsp worchestershire sauce

Instructions

In a bowl, combine the cumin, brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, mace, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Rub the spice mixture over the ribs.
Spray your slow cooker with non stick cooking spray and place the ribs in the slow cooker. I place them in standing on their sides rather than laying them in the slow cooker. Cook on low for 5-6 hours.
When the ribs are almost done cooking, combine the bbq sauce, ketchup, vinegar, mustard and worcestershire sauce in a sauce pan. Heat over medium heat until hot. Once sauce is hot, reduce to warm. Keep warm until ribs are ready.
Once ribs are done, line a baking sheet with foil and place the ribs on the baking sheet. Place half of the prepared bbq sauce in a bowl and bast ribs with sauce.
Place ribs in the oven on broil for 3-5 minutes per side. Serve ribs with the remaining half of the sauce.

Notes

For grilling: Baste ribs with sauce and grill on a grill that has been coated with oil. Grill over medium to medium high heat fro 2-3 minutes with the lid closed. Flip and repeat.
