Appetizer Ribs

3 1/2 pounds spareribs -- cut into individual pieces salt and pepper
2 cups water
garlic salt
8 ounces bottle Russian salad dressing
6 ounces can pineapple juice

Sprinkle ribs with salt and pepper. Place in slow-cooking pot; pour water over them. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or until tender. Drain. Arrange ribs on broiler pan; sprinkle with garlic salt. Make sauce by combining salad dressing and pineapple juice. Brush ribs with half the sauce. Broil until brown; turn, brush other side and brown.

NOTES : If possible, ask the butcher to cut each rib in half, crosswise, so they will be a more convenient size to handle as an appetizer.
