Succulent Tropical Tangy Ribs.....Happy 4th of July everyone!

I was looking for a little kick to my ribs but not too spicy so I chopped 1/2 of a jalapeno and because I live in a tropical State like Florida I added a little pineapple juice/crushed pineapple to my barbecue sauce and WOW they came out awesome! It was not a specific occasion at the time I first came up with the idea but it's my go to rib recipe every time we grill out with friends and family and everyone just rave about them every time I make them! My inspiration for this recipe submission was the special ingredient that we had to use and well the addition of the McCormick grill mates barbecue seasoning which I had never use that particular barbecue flavor but had use all others and it made my recipe even better got to love that and so you will love these ribs!!!!!! 3 pounds pork spareribs 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon garlic granulated 2 tablespoon McCormick Grill mates Barbecue seasoning 1 ½ cup Kraft original barbecue sauce 1 tablespoon jalapeno pepper finely chopped 1 tablespoon steak sauce 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce ¼ cup crushed pineapple ¼ cup pineapple juice 1 green onion chopped (optional) Preheat oven at 325 degrees. Rinse and clean ribs, pat dry. In a small bowl mix salt, garlic granulated and McCormick grill mates barbecue coat ribs on both side with seasoning mixture. Place ribs on a line with aluminum foil baking dish and cover with more aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. While ribs are baking in a small sauce pan on stove top on medium heat add the next six ingredients and cook for 5 minutes reduce heat to low and keep warm. Remove ribs from oven uncover and coat ribs evenly on both side with sauce reserving a ¼ cup of sauce for later. Return ribs to oven uncovered and bake an additional 20 minutes.
