Slow Cooked Ribs in Maple Syrup and Soy Sauce!

I've tried this recipe two ways: the recipe's way and my way, as inspired by the recipe. It came out just fine when I followed the recipe but the maple syrup affected my blood sugar, so I had to alter it a bit.
I placed 6 boneless country-style ribs in the slow cooker, seasoned them with Johnny's Seasoning Salt, garlic powder and onion salt. I then poured about 1-1/2 tbs. of soy sauce and 1- 1/2 tbs. of dark corn syrup over the meat, mixed everything together by hand, and then poured about 1/2 to 3/4 cup water (or until water covers 2/3 of the meat) into the cooker. I cooked it for 10 hours, not lifting the lid even once to check on it or stir it. While it was on warm, I threw in some onions and let it sit for about 15 min, or until the onions were soft.
It was a lot of meat for just my husband, me and our baby (she got to try a little), but it was so good we were more than happy to have so much left over!
