1/3 cup (75 ml) water
1/2 cup (125 ml) white vinegar

2 tbsp (30 ml) ketchup
1/4 tsp (1 ml) ground ginger
1/4 tsp (1 ml) garlic powder
3 lbs (1.4 kg) meaty pork spareribs, cut into 2 or 3 rib sections (I used about 4 1/2 pounds)

Brown sugar sauce: Mix brown sugar and flour in a saucepan. Add water. Stir. Add next 5 ingredients. Heat and stir until boiling and thickened. Layer ribs in a 5 quart (5 L) slow cooker, spooning sauce over each layer. Cover. Cook on low for 10 to 12 hours or on high for 5 to 6 hours until ribs are very tender. Serves 6.
