Instructions

Season the ribs with the dry rub ingredients on all sides.
Stack the rib sections in the Instant Pot (or slow cooker.)
Combine the ketchup, sweetener, vinegar, water, liquid smoke, mustard, allspice, and onion powder in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
Pour the sauce mixture over the ribs.
Seal the Instant Pot and use the Manual setting to set the time to 40 minutes on high pressure.
After the cooking is done, release the pressure per manufacturer’s instructions for natural release, and then remove lid.
Remove the ribs to a platter and keep warm.
Whisk the xanthan gum into the sauce, then use the saute function to cook the remaining liquid in the pot for 10 minutes. Pour the sauce over the ribs and serve.

If using a slow cooker, cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours. Then cook the liquid down on the stovetop until thickened before pouring over the ribs.
