1. Pat the pork ribs dry and season all sides with the salt and pepper. Cut the rack into sections if needed so they fit in the slow cooker.

2. In a bowl, whisk together the whole berry cranberry sauce, applesauce, orange juice, chicken broth and minced garlic until smooth.

3. Arrange the seasoned ribs in the slow cooker, then pour the cranberry mixture evenly over them, turning the ribs so they are coated.

4. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours (360 minutes), turning the ribs and spooning the sauce over them once halfway through, until the meat is tender.

5. Check that the thickest part of the ribs reads at least 145°F (63°C) on a meat thermometer. Transfer the ribs to a platter and let them rest for 3 minutes.

6. Spoon the sauce from the slow cooker over the ribs. Sprinkle with the chopped fresh parsley for garnish, if using (optional), and serve.
