    My husband’s extended family gets together once a year during the holidays. There are so many relatives that they have to rent a space to gather in. We get to enjoy delicious food while catching up with everyone.

    It is a huge potluck and you can bring whatever you want to share. One of the foods that has been there every year is slow cooker grape jelly meatballs simply made with meatballs, grape jelly, and chili sauce. I decided to take that same combination to make a sauce and make these slow cooker grape jelly ribs.

    How To Make Slow Cooker Grape Jelly Ribs

    raw rib meat on a cutting board sprinkled with seasoning

    Step One: Ribs

    Season country style boneless ribs with cajun seasoning.

    I like using the country style pork ribs because they are boneless and easier to eat. But you can use any ribs you want. They can be bone-in or even beef ribs.

    Step Two: Sauce

    Pour grape jelly and chili sauce into a slow cooker (I used my 3.5 qt CrockPot) and stir to combine.

    Add the seasoned ribs. Spoon the sauce over the ribs so that they are covered with sauce.

    Step Three: Cook

    Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or until tender.

    The result is delicious, tender ribs with a sweet and spicy sauce. These slow cooker grape jelly ribs are perfect for parties, potlucks and family gatherings, but they can also be used for an easy family dinner when you serve them with potatoes or even noodles or rice.

    Slow Cooker Grape Jelly Ribs Recipe FAQs

    1. Can I use regular ribs instead of country style? Yes, you can use regular ribs!

    2. How long would it take to cook them on high? I wouldn’t suggest cooking them on high. You want to cook ribs slowly so that they are super tender.

    3. Would other kinds of jelly work instead of grape? Yes, I think they would be good with apple, apricot, pineapple, peach, or orange jelly.

    4. Can I freeze the leftover ribs? Store leftover ribs in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or in the freezer for 3-4 months.

      I substituted honey bbq sauce for the chili sauce and it was pretty good.

      Hi! Have you ever tried this using apple rather than grape jelly?

      Sounds like something I will try. I wish when a recipe is posted, the number of servings is also posted.

        Hi Barbie, Thanks! The recipe does state that it serves 6-10. It will depend on whether you are serving it as an appetizer or a meal and if you are serving it to adults or kids. Best of luck! ~Tonia
