I can’t believe how delicious these ribs turned out! My mouth is watering just looking at these Pineapple Sweet Ribs. They are cooked over a charcoal grill, bringing out an incredible flavor.

We have gone from spring to full Summer weather with much warmer temps than usual. It’s supposed to be in the 80’s today! The unofficial start to Summer is almost here, Memorial Day is right around the corner. It’s time to get your grill ready for summer parties.

My favorite tips and techniques for grilling ribs:

1. Use very good charcoal such as Kingsford Charcoal. Stack the coals on one side of the grill in a pyramid style, keep the other side empty.
2.  Add apple wood chips to charcoal for a delicious smoky flavor, soak wood chips in water for 15 mins before adding to charcoal.
3.  When choosing ribs to grill, choose Smithfield Ribs. They are hand-trimmed, extra tender, and juicy. Plus Smithfield Fresh Pork does not add hormones or steroids.
4.  Make a simple rub and sauce for the ribs.
5.  Make sure to keep your charcoal temperature at 250-300 degrees.
6.  No matter what your level of expertise is, you can grill great ribs!

It makes me happy that I can get quality meat right in my local Walmart meat case.

How to make Pineapple Sweet Ribs: 

Build a fire ( a combination of charcoal and wood) for indirect cooking by situating the coals on only one side of the grill, leaving the other side void. When the coals register 250 degrees, place the ribs meat side up on the grill over the empty space. Close the cover, and cook with the indirect heat for 2 1/2 hours, adding coals as needed to maintain 250 degrees.

Rub Sweet Smoked Paprika all over the ribs.

Then rub Pineapple Preserves all over the ribs, front and back.

Place the rubbed ribs on the grill at a temperature of 250°F degrees. Smoke the ribs at 225°F to 250°F for 2 1/2 hours.

While the ribs are cooking, make the pineapple glaze in a saucepan over the stove.

After ribs have reached an internal temperature of 210 degrees F, add Pineapple Glaze with a silicone brush.

Allow cooking on the grill for another 30 minutes. The pineapple glaze caramelizes into a crusty brown finish.

The flavor is amazing! Juicy and saucy!

Allow the ribs to brown, keep an eye on the ribs so that they don’t catch on fire. Turning as needed. Keep the lid off.

Enjoy these scrumptious meaty ribs!
