Reader recipe: Slow Cooker BBQ Spareribs

Supper's ready in a flash when the main course is in the slow cooker

This BBQ sparerib recipe is great for the slow cooker. If we want to go hiking or exploring for a few hours, I can put these spareribs into a slow cooker, and when we get back I just need to cook some rice and supper is ready! Adjust the recipe for quantity, depending on how many people you are feeding.
