Method
Step by step

- 03
Mix the pineapple juice and brown sugar together and pour over the ribs.
- 04
Cover. Cook on High for 6-7 hours or Low for 8-10 hours.
- 05
When the ribs are done in the slow cooker, use tongs to gently pull them out (they will fall apart when you touch them).
- 06
Start the grill on medium heat.
- 07
While the grill is heating up, mix together the bottle of BBQ sauce and the 1/4 cup of pineapple juice you reserved.
- 08
Gently place the ribs on the grill and and brush with BBQ/Pineapple sauce. Turning the ribs twice, slathering with more sauce each time (you can’t have enough sauce!)
- 09
The ribs will take about 10-15 minutes to glaze over (as soon as that sauce starts to turn sticky, you know they are done!).
