I wanted a tropical taste to these ribs, and knew the flavors I wanted to use. The use of peach and mango...I was afraid it would have been too sweet, but it was perfect in conjunction with the bittery seasonings, and the heat of the sauce. These came out amazing; sweet and salty, and a little spicy!
