Prepare Ingredients: Begin by gathering your ingredients. You’ll need 2 country-style boneless pork ribs, 1 onion, 3 cloves of garlic, 2/3 cup of barbecue sauce, and 1/3 cup of plum jam.
-
Layer in Crock Pot: Place the country-style boneless pork ribs in the crock pot. Peel and slice the onion, then add it to the pot along with the garlic cloves.
-
Slow Cook: Cook the ingredients on low heat for 8 to 10 hours. This slow cooking method ensures that the pork becomes tender and succulent, infused with the flavors of onion and garlic. The cooking time may vary depending on your crock pot, so adjust accordingly.
-
Drain and Return: Once the pork is cooked through and tender, carefully drain the ribs and onion from the crock pot. Discard any excess juices from the pot, then return the meat and onions to the crock pot.

Prepare the Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the barbecue sauce and plum jam. Stir until the ingredients are well blended, creating a rich and sweet sauce that will elevate the flavor of the ribs.
-
Coat with Sauce: Pour the sauce mixture over the ribs in the crock pot, ensuring that they are evenly coated. Gently stir the ribs to ensure they are thoroughly covered in the delectable sauce.
-
Thicken and Glaze: Increase the heat to high and cook for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the ribs to become glazed. This final step adds a delightful caramelization to the ribs, enhancing their appearance and flavor.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the sauce has thickened and the ribs are glazed to perfection, they are ready to be served. Plate up these mouthwatering Crock Pot Barbecue Country Ribs and enjoy the delicious combination of savory pork and sweet, sticky sauce!
Additional Tips:
- For added depth of flavor, consider marinating the pork ribs in the barbecue sauce and plum jam mixture for a few hours before cooking.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, you can customize the sauce by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a splash of hot sauce.
- Serve these succulent ribs alongside your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or grilled vegetables, for a complete and satisfying meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat in the microwave or oven for a quick and easy meal option.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of jams or preserves to create unique flavor combinations. Apricot, peach, or raspberry jam would all complement the barbecue sauce beautifully.
