Servings 6 -8

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 lbs pork ribs St Louis Style or Baby Backs work best
  • 2 cups pineapple juice
  • 1 cup coconut water
  • c organic ketchup
  • ½ cup white or silver rum
  • 1 ½ tablespoon Lime juice
  • 2 tablespoon shoyu or tamari
  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Piña Colada BBQ Sauce**

Instructions
 

  • Cut the ribs into 4 rib sections and place in crockpot lined up next to each other vertically instead of stacked horizontally so that they get the most marinade around them.
  • In a large bowl combine the rest of the ingredients except bbq sauce and stir well. Carefully pour the marinade over the ribs in the crock pot. Set the crock pot on high for 2 hours. Then after two hours set to low for another 4-6 hours ( Depending on size and thickness of ribs). Once an hour flip the ribs so the tops are on the bottom to get even cooking in the marinade. During the last hour or so check the ribs more frequently to see if they are done, and to make sure the bones aren’t falling off yet. They should be super tender. When they are about done preheat your grill. Either a charcoal grill or gas grill on medium works just fine. Once the ribs are done remove from the crock post to a baking sheet and baste with bbq sauce.
  • Grill immediately. 3-4 min a side until the sauce starts to caramelize, basting with more sauce as needed.
  • Serve hot!
