Bourbon Bbq Baby Back Ribs

• 5 pounds pork baby back ribs, racks cut in half
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup bourbon
• 1/4 cup prepared horseradish
• 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce

1. Place ribs, meaty-side up, in a large roasting pan. Sprinkle ribs with salt and pepper.
2. Bake at 475u0b0 for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, combine ketchup and next 4 ingredients in a small bowl.
3. Arrange ribs in a 6-qt. slow cooker, adding sauce on each layer of ribs. Depending on the shape of your slow cooker-oval or round-you may have to cut each rib rack into thirds instead of in half. Cover and cook ribs on LOW 9 hours. Remove ribs from slow cooker; cover to keep warm.
4. Pour drippings and sauce from slow cooker into a saucepan. (Skim a few ice cubes across the surface of sauce to remove fat, if desired, and discard.) Bring sauce to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer over medium heat 20 minutes or until sauce thickens. (Sauce will reduce by about half.) Brush sauce over ribs before serving.
5. Make Ahead: These ribs can hold for several hours after finishing in the slow cooker. Place sauced-up ribs on a rimmed baking sheet; cover tightly with foil. Place in a preheated 190u0b0 oven to keep warm.
