First prepare and season your ribs as you would normally do removng the membraine and excess fat and then adding a dry rub for pork. See Championship Ribs for full details. Next, in a medium size pot, heat (on medium heat) the following ingredients:

    1/4 lb butter (1 stick)
    1 1/2 cup of apple juice
    1/2 cup of water

While these are warming to a simmering temperature, cut up the following:

    1 medium white onion - diced
    2 thick lices of fresh pineapple - or - 3 slices of canned pineapple

When the prior ingredients are almost to boiling temperature add the onion and pineapple. Then add:

    2 lemons, juiced with rhine added to the pot
    2 tbsp fresh ground black pepper
    1 tsp sea salt
    1 tsp hot sauce

Allow all the ingredients to simmer for 30 minutes and then to cool. Strain mixture into a new pan and begin applying to ribs after about 2 hours of cooking. Apply every 30 minutes thereafter until finished. Good for 2 racks of ribs. Adjust recipe for additional quantities
