PINEAPPLE STICKY RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange ribs in a single layer in a roasting pan.
• Stir pineapple, jam, soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl; pour over ribs.
• Bake in the preheated oven, basting every 15 minutes, until ribs are glazed and pull away easily from the bone, about 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

SLOW COOKER PINEAPPLE BBQ RIBS

Steps:

• Spray the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray (or use a slow cooker liner to make clean up a breeze!).
• Take the slab of ribs and cut into individual slabs (about 2-3 ribs each). Put the ribs into the slow cooker.
• Mix the pineapple juice and brown sugar together and pour over the ribs. Cook on HIGH for 5-6 hours or LOW for 8-9 hours.
• After they are done in the slow cooker, use tongs to GENTLY pull them out (they will literally fall apart when you touch them).
• Turn the broiler on in your oven.
• Line a baking sheet with foil and place ribs on sheet.
• Cover with the BBQ sauce and place in oven to get the BBQ sauce to get a nice char.
• Optional: You can skip the oven and put on the grill!

BRAISED SPARERIBS WITH PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Cut ribs apart; then with a cleaver, chop each, bone and all, in 2 inch sections. Add soy sauce and toss. Let stand 45 minutes, turning occasionally. Drain, discarding sauce.
• Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Combine juice with sugar, vinegar and water.
• Heat oil in heavy pan or wok. Add ribs and stir-fry to brown (3 to 4 minutes).
• Stir in flour, then pineapple juice mixture. Heat quickly, then simmer, covered, until ribs are tender (about 45 minutes).
• Add salt and canned pineapple chunks, stirring in gently only to heat through.
• Meanwhile blend cornstarch and cold water to a paste, then stir in to thicken. Serve hot.

PINEAPPLE GLAZED RIBS

Steps:

• Place all marinade ingredients in a food processor and pulse a few times. Rub the mixture onto the ribs. Place ribs in a covered dish or large freezer bags and marinate overnight.
• You can make the glaze ahead of time as well (recommended). Place all glaze ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat so you have a medium simmer (some bubbles on top of the liquid) and reduce until it's a syrupy consistency-this will take about 1 hour. Season to taste with salt and you may like a splash (about 1 tsp) of fresh lemon juice added.
• Line a baking sheet with either parchment or aluminum foil. Place ribs on the sheet and roast in a 350F/180C oven for about 2 hours. Basting with glaze during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
• Brush with additional glaze then cut into individual rubs. Serve remaining glaze as a dip if you desire.

STICKY JERK & BROWN SUGAR RIBS WITH PINEAPPLE RICE

Steps:

• Lay the ribs in a roasting tin and rub all over with 2 tbsp of the jerk spice mix. Leave to marinate for at least 2 hrs, or preferably overnight.
• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Put the ribs in a clean roasting tin, season and pour over 500ml of the pineapple juice. Cover the tin with foil and bake for 2 hrs.
• Mix the remaining jerk spice mix, pineapple juice, sugar, vinegar, lime juice and a good pinch of salt in a saucepan. Heat until the sugar dissolves, then bubble until thick and sticky.
• To make the rice, heat the oil in a large pan or wok. Add the shallot and pepper, and stir-fry until softened. Add the pineapple, brown sugar and plenty of seasoning, and continue cooking until the pineapple starts to caramelise.
• Remove the ribs from the oven and pour away the cooking liquid. Increase oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Pat the ribs dry with some kitchen paper, then brush the jerk sauce all over them. Return to the oven for 20 mins, brushing with any remaining sauce every 5 mins or so, until the ribs are really sticky.
• Add the cooked rice to the pan with the pineapple and vegetables, stir-fry for a further 2 mins, stirring occasionally, then add the coriander. Serve with the sticky ribs - and some napkins!

BROWN SUGAR RIBS WITH PINEAPPLE RELISH

Steps:

• For the ribs: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Mix together the brown sugar, paprika, salt, cayenne, pepper, garlic and orange juice in a large bowl. Add the ribs and toss until coated evenly.
• Cut an aluminum foil sheet that is 18 inches wide and 24 inches long and place on top of a baking sheet. Tip the ribs mixture onto the foil along with any extra juices from the mixing bowl. Fold the foil ends over the ribs, followed by the sides, and then seal the foil tightly to completely enclose. Bake until very tender, about 2 hours.
• For the relish: Meanwhile, add the pineapple, cilantro, honey, chili powder, salt, jalapeño, red onion and lime zest and juice to a medium bowl and mix everything together. Set aside.
• Remove the ribs from the oven and preheat the broiler.

• Transfer the ribs to a platter or board, top with the cold pineapple relish and serve.

JERK BABY BACK RIBS WITH PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• To make the jerk marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the onion, soy sauce, oil, vinegar, water, and jalapeño. (To make ahead, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.)
• To make the habanero vinegar: In a food processor, com¬bine the habanero chile and vinegar and purée until smooth. Pour into a small bowl. (To make ahead, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 month.)
• To make the pineapple glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the pineapple juice and brown sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until sauce is thick and reduced to about one-third, about 15 minutes. (To make ahead, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.)
• To make the pineapple salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the pineapple, onion, jalapeños, bell pepper, cilantro, oil, and lime juice. Season with salt. (To make ahead, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 8 hours.)
• To make the jerk spice rub: In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, allspice, salt, nutmeg, chile powder, cinnamon, cayenne, and black pepper in a small bowl.
• Use a butter knife to pry the membrane off the bone side of the ribs. Once you get a piece of the membrane loose, grab it with a paper towel and pull it toward the other end of the slab to remove it. Rub the Jerk Spice Rub evenly over the ribs. Arrange the ribs in a 15-by-10-in/38-by-25-cm baking pan. Pour the Jerk Marinade over the ribs, turning to coat both sides. Cover baking pan with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Remove ribs from marinade, letting the excess drip off. Transfer the ribs to a baking sheet and allow to come to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Brush with the Habanero Vinegar.
• To cook ribs using a charcoal grill: Prepare grill for indirect cooking over medium heat. Place a shallow metal pan filled with water in the center of the grill and arrange the hot coals around it. Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the ribs on the grate directly above the water-filled pan, cover the grill, and cook until tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Add coals as needed to maintain medium heat.
• To cook ribs using a gas grill: Preheat the grill with all the burners on high. Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the ribs on the grate, turn off the burner directly under the ribs, and reduce the other burners to medium heat. Cover the grill and cook until tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• After 45 minutes, brush the ribs with some of the Pineapple Glaze, and brush them two or three times before serving. Do not flip the ribs during cooking. When the ribs are done, they will be well browned and the meat will have shrunk back from the ends of the bones. Transfer ribs to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes before cutting rack into individual ribs. Serve warm with the Pineapple Salsa.
