These ribs are so simple to make - throw them in the slow cooker to tenderize all day, then toss them on the grill to caramelize the BBQ sauce and seal in all the flavors. Holy cow . . . these are amazing!

Ingredients
3poundspork loin ribs
3½cupspineapple juice, divided
1½cupsbrown sugar
16ouncesBBQ Sauce, 1 bottle, (I love Famous Dave's Rich and Sassy sauce)
Spray the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray (or use a slow cooker liner to make clean up a breeze!).
Take your slab of ribs (make sure that they are defrosted) and cut into individual slabs (about 2-3 ribs each). Throw the ribs into the slow cooker.
Mix 3 1/4 cups pineapple juice and the brown sugar together and pour over the ribs.
Cook on HIGH heat in the slow cooker for 7-8 hours or LOW for 10-12 hours.
After they are done in the slow cooker, use tongs to gently pull them out (they will literally fall apart when you touch them).
Turn the grill on medium heat. While the grill is warming up, mix together the bottle of BBQ sauce and 1/4 cup of pineapple juice you saved from earlier.
Place the ribs gently on the grill and and brush with BBQ sauce.
Turn the ribs twice, slathering with more sauce each time (you can't have enough sauce).
They will take about 10-15 minutes to glaze over (as soon as that sauce starts to turn sticky, you know they are done).
Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
We've also used this marinade for chicken, steak, pork, etc.
