Healthy Slow Cooker Ribs

Ribs are a food I just started eating a few years ago. Mike's mom makes really good ribs (with sauce that I could drink!), and so I got her recipe and made them a little while ago. Of course with something that tastes as good as her ribs, it is not clean at all! Brown sugar, vinegar, and ketchup are the main ingredients of the sauce. I wanted to try to make a healthier version, and so I came up with this recipe for the slow cooker.

Ingredients:
-centre cut ribs (the smaller ones)
-1 cup water
-1 cup clean bbq sauce (I use an organic one called "Amazing Dad's BBQ Sauce" that I found at Fortinos)
-1 tbsp jerk seasoning
-fresh ground pepper
-1 medium onion chopped

1. Sautee onion until translucent. Place in slow cooker.
2. Rub jerk seasoning and pepper on ribs. Place in slow cooker.
3. Add water and bbq sauce and combine well.
4. Cook on low for 7-8 hours.

I served mine over brown jasmine rice.
