Day 45 - Korean Slow Cooked Ribs

My kids love ribs.  I think it may be inherited as my dad likes them.   I was talking to him while I was preparing these in the slow cooker.   I think if they could my mom and my dad would have been over for dinner.   I have never mastered making ribs.  Until this recipe.  It worked great and everyone enjoyed it.

• 6 pounds of bone-in pork ribs
• salt
• Freshly ground pepper
• 1 medium pear or Asian pear, peeled, cored, and chopped coarsely ( you could use an apple)
• 6 garlic cloves, peeled and roughly chopped (jar of minced garlic works well too)
• onion , roughly chopped
• good shake of ground ginger
• 2 teaspoons of fish sauce ( don't think it would hurt it if you didn't have this in it)
• 1 tablespoon cider vinegar ( I just used regular)
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 cup chicken broth

Salt and Pepper the ribs and stick under the broiler for 5 minutes each side.
Then place them in the crockpot with the ribs pointing up or on their sides.
Combine the next 8 ingredients in the blender and mix until smooth.  Pour over the ribs.
Cook for 10 to 12 hours on low.
I stuck them under the broiler again for a little bit after I removed them from the slow cooker just to crisp it up a bit.  It was awesome.  Pulled off the bone,  very tender.
