pineapple juice

🥗Healthier: fresh pineapple juice

Canned juice is often less expensive and still flavorful.

brown sugar

🥗Healthier: coconut sugar

💰Cheaper: white sugar

White sugar is a cost-effective alternative.

barbecue sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade barbecue sauce

💰Cheaper: ketchup

Ketchup can be used as a base for a quick BBQ sauce.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and foil.

Pat the rack of ribs dry with paper towels to remove excess liquid.

Apply mustard oil liberally to the ribs to help the seasonings penetrate.

Season the ribs with Goya sea salt, Goya all-purpose seasoning, Goya all-purpose seasoning with pepper, cumin, cinnamon, and brown sugar, rubbing it into the meat.

Seal the seasoned ribs tightly in foil to lock in moisture and flavor.

Place the sealed ribs on the baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 1 hour.

After 1 hour, open the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes.

Prepare the barbecue sauce by heating mustard oil in a medium saucepan over medium to high heat.

Add Goya jam and pineapple juice to the saucepan and mix until heated and bubbling around the edges.

Incorporate water into the mixture and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, add brown sugar and ketchup, mixing until fully incorporated and sugars dissolve.

Season the sauce with sea salt, Goya all-purpose seasoning, and Goya all-purpose seasoning with pepper.

Cover the sauce and simmer for about 10 minutes to thicken.

Add unsalted butter and freshly sliced cilantro to the sauce, mixing until the butter is melted and incorporated.

Cook the sauce on low heat, covered, stirring periodically for about 30 minutes.

After the first hour of baking, remove the ribs from the oven and ladle some barbecue sauce over them.

Seal the foil back over the ribs and return them to the oven for another 30 minutes.

After a total of 1.5 hours of baking, remove the ribs and open the foil to allow them to develop color.

Return the ribs to the oven for an additional 30 minutes to caramelize the sauce.

Let the ribs cool for about 30 minutes to reabsorb moisture before slicing.
