Slow Cooker Spare Ribs

My late mother-in-law made some delicious ribs in her pressure cooker.  Many a Sunday was spent at her house waiting for ribs to hit the dinner table.  When she passed away I inherited her box of recipes (inherited or took?).  The recipe is nowhere in that box.  I've looked and looked.

So the other night I was on a mission to find something close to her spare ribs and I think this is pretty close.  The original recipe is from AllRecipes.com but the recipe as it is written here is a modified version based on comments left by people about that recipe.  I think it is delicious!

Ingredients:
2 cups ketchup
1/2 tsp. onion powder or 1/2 chopped onion
6 cloves garlic, minced
3 Tbsp. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
4 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 pounds pork spareribs
1 tsp. cornstarch (optional)
1/4 cup cold water (optional)

Directions:
In a mixing bowl, mix together soup, onion, garlic, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce.  Place ribs in slow cooker.  Pour sauce over ribs.

Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.

Remove ribs from slow cooker and place in a 9x13 pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.  Place the ribs into a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes.  Serve with sauce from slow cooker. 

If sauce is too thin when cooking time is done, drain sauce from ribs, and pour into a sauce pan.  Combine 1 tsp. cornstarch with a small amount of cold water, stir into sauce, and bring sauce to boil.  Cook until sauce has reached desired thickness.
