Instructions

  1. Mix all the ingredients of the marinade together.
  2. Trim the rack of pork spare ribs, put them with the marinade in a big enough Ziploc bag and marinate it in the fridge for 2 hours.
  3. In the meantime, mix all the ingredients of the dry seasoning together and keep them aside.
  4. To make the glaze that you will use for basting the ribs, place the pineapple & coconut juice, vinegar, sugar, butter and pepper in a saucepan and boil until syrupy (10 to 15 minutes), stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.
  5. After the 2 hours have passed, pat the ribs dry and rub them with the dry seasoning.
  6. Then put them in a baking dish meat side up, cover them tightly with aluminium foil and cook them in a pre heated oven at 180°C – 355°F for 1.5 hours. Now turn the ribs over, baste them with the glaze and broil them at 200°C – 395°F for 5 minutes. Turn them again, baste and broil for 5 more minutes.
  7. In the meantime, prepare the Pineapple & Coconut Barbecue Sauce by mixing all the ingredients together in a saucepan. Cook for about 10 minutes or until it thickens. Let it cool down.
  8. When the ribs are ready, serve them hot with the Pineapple & Coconut Barbecue Sauce.
