Slow Cooker Peachy Barbecue Ribs
Ingredients
- 1 rack baby back pork ribs, (or you can leave the rack of ribs whole)
- 1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce
- 15.25 oz. can sliced peaches, drained and diced
- 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
Instructions
- Prep the ribs by patting removing from packaging, and patting dry. Remove the silver skin from the back of the ribs (it's the curved side). I do this by loosening it along the center edge then pulling up, sometimes I can get it off in one pull. Using a sharp knife, cut the ribs into individual pieces. Set aside.
- Add the barbecue sauce, peaches, vinegar, mustard and garlic powder to the slow cooker. Stir.
- Add the ribs to the sauce and stir to coat.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.
- When the cooking time is done, I like to remove the grease from the sauce. I do this by taking a paper towel and laying it over the grease, lift and discard paper towel.
- Serve and enjoy!

Could this be done as a freezer prep meal?
Yes, this is a perfect recipe for prepping. I stay away from recipes with dairy and potatoes, so this works well.
The ‘peachy bbq ribs’look SO delicious. Is there any way to make them diabetic-friendly? 35 grams of sugar is way too much for my husband.
Is there diabetic friendly peach jam and barbecue sauce? I would look for that.
Sweet Baby Ray makes a BBQ sauce with no sugar added.
Can you use country style ribs?
Yes! will work great.
Hi Sarah!
Could this be cooked on high? If so, for how long? I’m planning to make this on Friday so I’ll need an answer as quickly as possible please.
Thanks!
Julie
I’m thinking 4-5 hours on high would work fine!
Hey Great! Thanks Sarah!
most everything is 4 hrs.
Video shows some form of green vegetation, such as sliced spring onions, but there was no mention of anything like that in the recipe.
It’s green onions, used as a garnish.
Peachy ribs, you say? Yeah, I’ll try that recipe. I’ve mastered BBQ anyways.
