This is another great dish for those busy nights.  It can be served with a variety of side dishes, veggies or salads.  Enjoy!
Ingredients:
-cooking spray
-1 large onion, sliced
-2.5-3 lbs country-style pork ribs
-2 Tbs tomato paste
-1/4 cup molasses
-3 Tbs vinegar
-1 tsp dry mustard
-1/4 tsp salt
-1/4 tsp pepper
-1/2 tsp dried rosemary, crushed
-1 1/2 cups vegetable juice, divided
Directions:
Generously coat your slow cooker with cooking spray (on the sides too).  Layer the bottom with the onion slices.  Top the onion with the pork ribs.
In a bowl, combine the tomato paste with the molasses, vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper, rosemary and 1/2 cup of the juice.  Mix well and pour over pork.  Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
In the last few minutes of cooking, pour the remaining 1 cup vegetable juice into a small saucepan.  Bring to a boil.  Lower the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove the meat, without the sauce, from the slow cooker.  Pour the simmered sauce on top and enjoy!
