Sticky Pineapple Marinated Ribs

Sticky Pineapple Marinated Ribs are tender, juicy and soooo sticky ~ a must have rib recipe to throw on the barbecue!

Sticky Pineapple Marinated Ribs

A Barbecue would not be the same without some juicy Ribs. Picking up a ready marinated pack is also no fun. Making these sticky Pineapple marinated Ribs from start is however !

I really had to hunt down these raw, not-marinated, not-smoked  Ribs and finally found them at a small butchery which is close to our house.

Never bought there before, but I will now definitely become a regular. When you walk into the store, it is like entering another era, left far behind in history.

Down to earth, no exotic displays and mostly fresh meat without any marinades. Some old antiques are displayed.
Without it even looking like a display, and from up on a shelf, a radio playing an old song.

So not what I, and I think most of us, are getting used to in the bigger chain stores and fancy butcheries.

Sticky Pineapple Marinated Ribs

This recipe for these Sticky Pineapple Marinated Ribs require some pre-cooking, which was also a first for me. Oh, just blame it on all the convenience foods out there!

But I will most definitely rather cook the Ribs from now on, then brush and quickly slap on the barbecue.

The Ribs turned out super tender and so juicy. I hope I am not alone, but eating delicious, sticky Ribs are best done by hand !

And I just love watching kids eat these, their little hands, faces and just about everything else is covered in sticky sauce.

Fresh or canned Pineapple ?

You could use fresh Pineapple instead of canned if you prefer. Cube the Pineapple and blitz in the blender for a minute or so – use as is with all the juices.

One can would equal about one and a half cups of fresh Pineapple, but you need not worry about getting the quantity 100% the same.

On step #4. Can the ribs be placed in a slow cooker covered with water and set on high for a couple of hours. If so, just how many hours to cook would you recommend?

The ribs can be cooked in the slow-cooker, 8 hours on LOW or 4 hours on HIGH, give or take an hour either way, depending on the thickness of the ribs used (replying here as your e-mail is not attached to your comment)
