Slow Cooker Hawaiian Pineapple Ribs
A rib dish that literally falls off the bone and melts in your mouth.
Yes, there are just so many rib recipes that one can get a hold off but just so little time to try them all. So I made it a promise to myself to try at least one every week. And starting this week, you will have a rib recipe.
This recipe will definitely blow your mind away. It has a different twist to the typical rib recipes we are so used to. The pineapple chunks give it a sweet yet tangy flavor and to top it off lemon and lime juice gives it a perfect ending.
Check out the recipe below.
Slow Cooker Hawaiian Pineapple Ribs
Ingredients
- Tender Choice Backribs (bone in) - 6 lbs
- KC Masterpiece BBQ Sauce Mix & Dry Rub Sweet Honey - 2-2 ounce pouches
- pineapple chunks (fresh or canned) - 1 cup
- Cola soda - 3/4 cup
- honey - 1/3 cup
- lemon juice (fresh) - 1 Tbs
- lime juice (fresh) - 1/2 Tbs
- Extra lime and lemon to squeeze over finished ribs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Cut Tender Choice Backribs (2 racks) into 6 even pieces
- Open 1 pouch of KC Masterpiece BBQ Sauce Mix & Dry Rub Sweet Honey and rub it all over the ribs, front and back.
- Lay ribs on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes per side, 30 minutes total. This will help to seal the outsides, and keep them moist and tender while they cook in the slow cooker.
- Meanwhile, in a blender, combine pineapple chunks, cola, honey, lemon and lime juice, and the other pouch of KC Masterpiece BBQ Sauce Mix & Dry Rub Sweet Honey, and blend until smooth
- Pour 1/3 of the sauce into the bottom of a 5 quart or larger slow cooker
- Layer ribs into the slow cooker, and pour another 1/3 of the sauce over the top, stir it a bit to coat the ribs.
- Cook on low for 7-8 hours or high 3-4 hours.
- Just before service, pour remaining sauce over the top, and brush across the ribs. Squeeze on a little fresh lemon and lime (optional) and serve.
