How To Make Crock Pot Ribs
1. Remove the membrane from the back of your ribs and cut the ribs down so they fit in your crockpot. I recommend using a 6-quart or larger crockpot!
2. Add the sauce ingredients together in a food processor and process until smooth, then brush it all over the baby back ribs in the crock pot — that’s all! But reserve some of that delicious sauce for the end!
3. Let the ribs cook in the crockpot and once the ribs are done cooking you’ll want to place them on a baking sheet and brush the remaining sauce over the top and broil them for a few minutes.

Steps
Remove the membrane (shiny/white tissue) from the back of the ribs by flipping the ribs so they are meat-side down and work your fingers under the membrane and peel it off.
Cut your ribs down so they fit comfortably in your crockpot and you can put the lid on. I recommend a 6-quart crockpot or larger.
Add the remaining ingredients into a food processor or blender and process until a sauce forms. You may leave the seeds in the sauce or run the sauce through a sieve to remove them - totally up to you.
Place the ribs in the crockpot, you can layer then, but brush a thin layer of the sauce over the top of each layer of ribs. DO NOT dip the brush directly into the sauce after brushing the ribs, just pour a little on the ribs and brush it over the surface. You want to reserve about half of the sauce for later.
Cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or low for 8 hours.
Once the ribs are done in the crockpot. Transfer them to a parchment lined baking sheet and brush the remaining sauce over the tops of them and broil for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove and enjoy.
