Babyback Ribs

This recipe came from the Our Best Bites Blog. Mom, Nicki, Mandy and myself have all made them and they are soooo good. I had never tried to make ribs before, they always seemed like so much work. The best thing about these is how EASY they are. I seriously think they would be impossible to mess up. They are fall off the bone tender!

Here is what you will need:

1-2 racks babyback ribs (You can use side ribs as well, I have made both and they both turned out great! Side Ribs are generally a lot cheaper. I recommend buying the ribs at Costco, I'm pretty sure it is the best deal.
Your favorite BBQ Sauce (I use Tony Roma's Hickory flavor and I found it went really well with the ribs)

Marinade
3 c. pineapple juice
1 ½ c. brown sugar
1 ½ tsp. mustard powder
1/3 c. ketchup
1/3 c. red wine vinegar
1 ½ Tbsp. lemon juice
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
½ tsp. ground cloves
2 tsp. ground ginger
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp. cayenne pepper

Cut each rack into 3-4 rib portions and put in crock pot.


Mix marinade in separate bowl and then pour over ribs. (You can do this the night before)


Cook on LOW for 6 hours. You can poke them around occasionally to get them all covered by the liquid.

Remove the ribs from the liquid and heat your grill to medium.
Carefully place the ribs on the grill and baste one side with BBQ sauce and close lid for about 3 minutes, turn over and do the same for the other side. You are done!
