SWEET AND SOUR SPARERIBS

Category: Ribs

3 1/2 lb pork spareribs
Garlic salt
1 (8 oz) can crushed pineapple
3/4 cup sweet and sour sauce
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tbsp ketchup
White rice, cooked for 4 servings
1 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp minced green onions and tops

Cut ribs into 2-rib pieces, sprinkle both sides with garlic salt. Place ribs in a large shallow foil-lined pan, meaty side down. Bake at 450 for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, drain pineapple, reserve 1/4 cup juice. Combine reserved juice with sweet and sour sauce, pineapple, brown sugar and ketchup, set aside. Remove ribs from oven, drain off fat. Spoon about 1/4 of pineapple mixture over ribs, turn ribs over and spoon remaining 3/4 mixture evenly on top of ribs. Reduce oven temperature to 350 and bake ribs for 45 minutes. Cover ribs loosely with foil and bake 10 minutes longer or until ribs are tender.

Meanwhile, prepare rice according to package directions, adding soy sauce to the water. When rice is finished cooking, toss with butter and green onions until butter is melted and rice is evenly coated. Serves 4
