I would use the juice of a lemon and maybe 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 large can whole tomatoes with juice cut up not crushed tomatoes or tomato paste after simmering for an hour adjust seasonings if you want to add a bit more sugar sure do so .. But 1 and 1/2 cups sugar is just way too much this recipe sounds like it does have good bones though

Yes, these ribs can be cooked in slow cooker. We have not tested, but it should be about 7 to 8 hours on low heat.
