Steps:
- Put 4 tbsp of barbecue sauce along with the rest of the ingredients into your slow cooker. Top up with enough water to cover (roughly 1.5l). Slow cook on Low for 8 - 9 hours until very tender but not completely falling off the bone.
- Heat the oven to 220C/ 200C fan/ gas mark 7. Remove the ribs from the slow cooker using a slotted spoon or tongs. Handle them carefully as the meat will be very tender and may start to fall off. Baste with the remaining barbecue sauce and lay on a foil-lined oven tray. Cook for 20 - 30 mins until starting to crisp on outside. Alternatively, cook on the barbecue, turning from time to time until piping hot throughout.

Tips for Making the Best Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Sticky Ribs:
- Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs or spare ribs can be used for this recipe, but baby back ribs are generally more tender and have less fat.
- Remove the membrane: Before cooking the ribs, remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the sauce penetrate the ribs and make them more tender.
- Brown the ribs: Browning the ribs before slow cooking adds flavor and helps to caramelize the sauce.
- Use a good quality sauce: The sauce is the key to this recipe, so be sure to use a good quality sauce that you enjoy. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
- Cook the ribs on low heat: Cooking the ribs on low heat for a long period of time will help them to become fall-off-the-bone tender.
- Baste the ribs with sauce: Basting the ribs with sauce during the cooking process will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
Conclusion:
These slow cooker sweet and sour sticky ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender and coated in a sweet and sticky sauce that is sure to please everyone. Serve the ribs with your favorite sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables.
