Bourbon Bbq Baby Back Ribs

1. 1

   Place ribs, meaty-side up, in a large roasting pan. Sprinkle ribs with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Bake at 475u00b0 for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, combine ketchup and next 4 ingredients in a small bowl.

3. 3

   Arrange ribs in a 6-qt. slow cooker, adding sauce on each layer of ribs. Depending on the shape of your slow cooker-oval or round-you may have to cut each rib rack into thirds instead of in half. Cover and cook ribs on LOW 9 hours. Remove ribs from slow cooker; cover to keep warm.

4. 4

   Pour drippings and sauce from slow cooker into a saucepan. (Skim a few ice cubes across the surface of sauce to remove fat, if desired, and discard.) Bring sauce to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer over medium heat 20 minutes or until sauce thickens. (Sauce will reduce by about half.) Brush sauce over ribs before serving.

5. 5

   Make Ahead: These ribs can hold for several hours after finishing in the slow cooker. Place sauced-up ribs on a rimmed baking sheet; cover tightly with foil. Place in a preheated 190u00b0 oven to keep warm.
