This weekend I made ribs for the very first time in my life.

Tender…

Fall off the bone…

Full flavored and unbelievably delicious ribs.

Inspired by the Dibs on My Ribs Pork Recipe Cook-off, I set out to make an easy rib recipe for no fail ribs using McCormick Spices and Kraft BBQ sauce.

Easy Pineapple Glazed Spare Ribs

Ingredients

Ribs (I used Tyson Pork Spare Ribs and I only needed one slab- you may need more)
Kraft Original BBQ sauce
McCormick Grill Mates Sweet & Smoky Rub
1 can crushed pineapple (drained with juice reserved)

Directions

1. Score membrane on the back of ribs. (I cut the full rack into two half racks to make it easier to work with, but you don’t have to do that.)

2. Rub ribs on both sides with McCormick Sweet and Smoky Rub, then add 1/2 of the drained pineapple to both sides as well.

3. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Double wrap ribs in foil tightly. Bake on cookie sheet for 2 1/2 hours. (Make sure you have a catch pan for drips.)

4. Remove from oven. Ribs will be done and tender. Reserve the juice from the foil to use in your baste.

5. To make pineapple glaze baste: Mix together remaining pineapple, 1/2 cup pineapple juice, reserved rib drippings, and Kraft Original BBQ sauce. Baste both sides of ribs liberally.

6. Cook over medium heat on a grill for about 5-10 minutes to caramelize the glaze. (I used a rib rack for more indirect heating.)

Serve and enjoy! The ribs will be extremely tender and will definitely fall off the bone!

    Dang, Liz, those sound great! I’m afraid the weather would have to be MUCH cooler before I could use the oven for 2 1/2 hours. I don’t use it at all when it’s hot. This would be an outdoor job… it’s already hot out there and I don’t have to keep it air conditioned.

  484. Julie Wood says

    To go with my ribs, I would have to say slow roasted corn on the cob! YUMMY!

  508. Chrystal D says

    I love a cold pasta salad with my ribs. And those ribs look GREAT with the pineapple!

  514. Marcie W. says

    We had ribs last night! For our sides we did Classic “corn man” corn and Garin veggies. Both are personal items my hubs has come up with over the years and both go perfectly with his fall off the bone ribs!

    We love having twiced baked potatoes with sour cream and chives on top along with heavily buttered corn-on-the-cob as our side dish with ribs.

  544. Samantha K says

    Potato salad or mashed potatoes for sure… depending on whether it is outside or inside cooking.

  548. brian miller says
