Raspberries are one of my favorite summer treats. My bushes are full! Combine raspberries with baby back ribs and you’ve got yourself a killer summer meal. A homemade raspberry-chipotle sauce is brushed on meaty, tender baby back ribs. It’s all cooked up in the slow cooker so it couldn’t be easier. I’ve written about the secret to crockpot ribs before, and include my secret in this recipe. Seriously, these ribs will fall off the stinkin bone which will allow you to shove them in your gluttonous face even faster. You’re welcome. It’s time to enjoy yourself a little before all this summer goodness goes away!
Hi, what is a “sweet onion”? I know of only red onions, yellow onions and white/brown onions…. is it a red onion by any chance?
Walla Walla and Vidalia are the most common kinds of sweet onions. They lack the sharp, astringent taste of other onions, and taste sweet. They can range in color from white to yellow and often have a flattened or squashed appearance.
I only have strawberries on hand. What adjustments will I need to make?
They can be used the same.
A quick update on the Roasted Raspberry Chipotle Sauce: I buy it at Costco. 40 oz bottle by Fischer & Wieser. Just leave it in the fridge for months–and use it to season everything from cottage cheese to ribs. They also make a mango sauce I haven’t tried. Go for it! I combined this with BBQ sauce and brushed on each layer; saved a little for the top. Now I have to wait the 8-10 hours for this wonder to cook! Enjoy!
I cooked these to exact instructions on low, still had 13/4 hours to cook, my ribs were over cooked. Fall off the bone but bones fell off lol. Sauce declicious. I will make again but I’ll check after 4 hrs cooking time & go from there
Sweet Baby Rays used to offer a Raspberry Chipotle BBQ sauce it was my absolute favorite!! Why when I find a product I truly enjoy then it is discontinued?!??
