Ingredients

• 4 pounds Pork spareribs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 cup Ketchup
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 0.33 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cup Pineapple juice
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 0.5 cup Crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.25 cup Chopped green onions (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Prepare the spareribs by removing the silver skin from the underside if needed. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Season the spareribs evenly on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 4

Place the spareribs on a large baking sheet lined with foil and cover them tightly with another sheet of foil to seal. Bake in the oven for 90 minutes to allow the ribs to tenderize.

Step 5

While the ribs are baking, prepare the glaze. In a medium saucepan, combine ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, pineapple juice, grated ginger, and crushed pineapple. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch and water together to create a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the simmering glaze while stirring continuously. Allow the glaze to thicken (about 2-3 minutes), then remove from heat.

Step 7

After 90 minutes, carefully remove the spareribs from the oven and increase the temperature to 375°F (190°C).

Step 8

Uncover the spareribs and brush a generous layer of the pineapple glaze over the top. Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, basting with more glaze every 10 minutes.

Step 9

Once the glaze is caramelized and sticky, remove the spareribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm. Enjoy!
