Description

These ribs are easy to put together, don’t require any attention while cooking, and best of all–they are finger lickin’ good!

Ingredients

  • ¾ cups Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • 2 teaspoons Onion Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon To 2 Teaspoons Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon To 2 Teaspoons Ground Red Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 rack Pork Ribs
  • 24 ounces, fluid (large Can) Pineapple Juice (you Won't Need It All)
  • 8 ounces, weight (small Bottle) Liquid Smoke (you Won't Need It All)
  • 1 bottle (16 Oz) Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce (you May Not Need It All Depending On Your Preference)

Preparation

Put brown sugar, kosher salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and both peppers in a bowl, mix well. Add worcestershire sauce and mix again. Rub all over and into ribs. Place ribs into crockpot. Pour pineapple juice into the crockpot (not directly onto ribs but around the sides of the crock) – use just enough until juice covers ribs. (If you run out of juice before ribs are completely covered it’s OK). Pour in liquid smoke – just enough until the pineapple juice turns a light brownish color. (Do this a little bit at a time. Remember, you can always add more, but you can’t take it out). Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours.

When meat is done, remove from crockpot and discard juices. Return ribs to slow cooker and pour a liberal amount of Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce over top. Set crockpot on warm until ready to serve.

**You can use any kind of ribs–it just so happened that the ones I had were of the pork persuasion.
***You may use any type of BBQ sauce that suits your taste buds.
****If you can’t handle the spice, you will want to use only 1 teaspoon (or perhaps less) of each of the peppers. Since I am usually doing multiples of the recipe I might use 3 teaspoons of each for 2 racks. That’s just because my dad can’t HANDLE the spice. The rest of us like it!

Easy to make, I wish I would’ve cut the rack of ribs down smaller. I cut it into thirds and stacked them in the slow cooker, the top portion didn’t get as tender as the rest. I used 1 teaspoon of each of the peppers and it wasn’t enough heat. Thanks for the easy recipe!
