RIBS! (again)!!!

SLOW COOKER RIBS. 
AKA the best ribs ever (photos coming soon)

So it was the end of summer, actually, autumn had already started when I made this...but it *was* an unusually warm week.  What better meal than ribs? Especially the ones that were on a super sale :)  I googled several places, but I think this recipe came mostly from Kraft Canada, I'll try and find a better reference shortly.

Meat:2 racks (3 lb) of pork back ribs, cut into 2-3 rib portions (back layer of connective tissue removed)
salt and pepper

Sauce:1 small carrot diced
1 small onion blitzed (in minichop or food processor, to a pasty consistency)
Dash of worcestershire sauce
2 cloves of garlic pressed
2/3 C ketchup
2/3 C chili sauce
1/3 C BBQ sauce
1/4 C of golden sugar

Method:Turn on your broiler
Remove layer of connective tissue from back of ribs and cut into portions as required.
Season ribs with salt and pepper
Place under a broiler about 5 minutes a side until golden

Meanwhile....
Combine all ingredients for sauce and stir well
Transfer ribs to large slow cooker, coat with sauce.
and cook on low for 7-8 hours or until tender.
Remove ribs from sauce, skim fat from sauce
Now you have a couple of options, either place the stoneware on high and reduce sauce for several minutes until thicker, pulverise any remaining carrots with immersion blender
-or-
Pour sauce into a medium pot, bring to boil and then simmer for a few minutes until sauce thickens, pulversise any remaining carrots with an immersion blender.
Serve the ribs with some extra sauce brushed on.

Cooks notes:  You only need about half the sauce, so take what I said there and reduce it.  Otherwise, best ribs I've ever made.
