Sticky pineapple ribs
Pork ribs slow-braised in pineapple juice, soy, garlic and onion, then finished with a caramelized ketchup-honey glaze for sticky, smoky-sweet flavor.
These pork ribs are braised low and slow in a sweet-savory mix of pineapple juice, soy sauce, garlic and onion until the meat surrenders, then finished under high heat with a glossy ketchup-honey glaze that caramelizes into something sticky and a little smoky. Because the ribs are cut apart instead of being cooked as a rack, each one gets perfectly seasoned and completely glazed all over. The braise does most of the work of building deep flavor and the finishing glaze handles the rest. Serve with white rice or cornbread and a sharp slaw to cut the richness.
