Sweet and Savory Country-Style Ribs

"Here's a recipe that my husband and I made up several years ago for the slow cooker.  It's so easy and so good and it's a recipe that I turn to over and over again for a delicious dinner.  It has been featured in Taste of Home and Gooseberry Patch's Dinner on a Dime cookbook, along with several websites!  We are so proud!"

2-3 lbs country-style bone-in pork ribs

1 onion, sliced

1 (18 ounce) bottle barbecue sauce, any flavor

1/2 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup spicy brown mustard

salt and pepper, to taste

Place ribs in a slow cooker that has been sprayed with cooking spray.  Place sliced onions on top of ribs;  sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Mix together remaining ingredients;  pour over ribs and onions.  Cover and cook on low setting for 8-10 hours.

NOTE:  We love to serve our ribs with mashed potatoes and pour some of the juices over the potatoes as a gravy.  ENJOY!!!
