Ingredients

Rub

  • 1½ Tbs paprika
  • 1 Tbs salt
  • 1½ Tbs garlic powder
  • ½ Tbs black pepper
  • 1 Tbs onion powder
  • ½ Tbs dried thyme
  • ½ Tbs dried oregano
  • 1 Tbs chipotle chili powder

Ribs

  • 5 lb boneless pork rib

Pineapple Chipotle BBQ Sauce

  • 14 oz can petite diced tomato
  • 20 oz can pineapple tidbits in juice
  • 13 oz can LA MORENA® Chipotle Peppers in Adobo
  • 1 large yellow onion diced
  • 2 Tbs minced garlic
  • 2 Tbs tomato paste
  • 3 Tbs brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tbs LA MORENA® Chipotle Sauce
  • ½ tbsp salt
  • Black pepper

Garnish

  • Cilantro
  • Limes

Instructions

  • Combine the Rub ingredients in a bowl.
  • Pat the ribs dry, then rub with the Rub.
  • Place in slow cooker and cook on low heat for 4 hours
  • I have a Hamilton Beach slow cookerand I love it because I can set the cook time and when it has finished it will automatically switch to warm.
  • Meanwhile, make the BBQ Sauce by combining all the BBQ sauce ingredients in a large blender or food processor, and processing until smooth.
  • I have a Blendtec blender which is a lot of blender for this recipe but it is just what I need for a lot of other recipes.
  • After 4 hours cook time, drain the ribs(if necessary), and dump sauce over the top, reserving about a cup to a cup and a half for finishing.
  • Cook 2 more hours until completely tender. Stir well to get the sauce well incorporated
  • To finish the ribs off, grill/broil for 5 to 10 minutes to get a nice caramelized finish on top (optional)
  • Garnish and Enjoy!
