Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 3 cups pineapple juice

  • 1 ½ cups brown sugar

  • 1 ½ tablespoons mustard powder

  • ⅓ cup ketchup

  • ⅓ cup red wine vinegar

  • 1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves

  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 2 pounds baby back pork ribs

  • 1 (18 ounce) bottle barbecue sauce

Directions

  1. Mix together pineapple juice, brown sugar, mustard powder, ketchup, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and soy sauce in a large baking dish. Season with cloves, ginger, garlic, and cayenne pepper; mix until marinade is well combined.

  2. Cut ribs into serving-size pieces; place into marinade to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight, turning ribs occasionally.

  3. Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (80 degrees C).

  4. Cook ribs in marinade in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour 30 minutes; turn ribs occasionally to ensure even cooking.

  5. Preheat the grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

  6. Cook ribs on the preheated grill, basting with barbecue sauce and turning frequently, until nicely glazed, 15 to 20 minutes.
