Directions
For rib rub, in a small bowl, combine all rub ingredients and mix.

Place ribs in a large mixing bowl and rub with rib rub mixture until well coated. Cover bowl with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-4 hours.
Once ribs have marinated, bring 1 gallon of water to a boil. Add the ribs, cover and simmer over low heat for 45 minutes or until tender. Remove ribs from water and set aside to cool.
Turn on grill and brush lightly with oil. Heat grill to 450 F. Once grill is hot, add the ribs and begin basting with guava BBQ sauce. Cook ribs for about 15 minutes, 7-8 minutes on each side. Once the ribs are golden brown, remove from the grill.
