A friend shared this recipe more than 30 years ago, and I've been using it ever since. I make the ribs a day ahead and let the flavors meld, then I reheat and serve them the next day.

Provided by vlacer

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients:
Utensil: 9-quart Brasier Pan
Yield: Serves 10
5 pounds pork spareribs (can use beef spareribs) 2270 g
1 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 350mL
5 tablespoons cornstarch 75 mL
1 1/2 teaspoon celery salt 7.5 mL
1 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 7.5 mL
2 cups crushed pineapple, with juice 480 mL
3/4 cup water 180 mL
3/4 cup chopped onion, cone #3 180 mL
6 tablespoons cider vinegar 90 mL
6 tablespoons soy sauce 90 mL
3 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 45 mL
4 1/2 teaspoons grated orange peel 22.5 mL
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce 2.5 mL

Steps:

  • Preheat Saladmaster brasier pan on medium, approximately 4 minutes, or when several drops of water sprinkled on the pan skitter and dissipate. Cut ribs into serving size pieces. Place ribs in pan to sear. When meat releases, turn and sear other side. You may need to do all of the meat in two phases because all of the meat may not fit into pan; in which case, place first series of meat onto a plate while searing remaining meat. Meanwhile, in a 3 quart saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cornstarch, celery salt, ginger, pineapple, water onion, vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, orange peel and hot pepper sauce. Stir mixture over medium heat and bring to a boil. Cook for approximately 2 minutes or until thickened. When ribs are seared on both sides, place all meat into braiser pan and pour ingredients from sauce pan over ribs. Cover pan, turn heat down to simmer and cook for approximately 4 hours. During the 4 hours turn meat approximately 3 times to assure all of the meat is covered with sauce. When meat is easily picked off the bone, it is ready to serve.

Serve with rice pilaf or couscous, and a vegetable for a wonderful and easy meal. The ingredients can be combined several days prior to serving. Put dry ingredients in a covered container and all of the wet ingredients into another covered container. Store wet ingredients in refrigerator. Combine in saucepan when ready for cooking. If you have leftovers, take a fork and scrape of the bone. Use for sandwiches, as a pizza topping, or mix with brown rice as a new main dish.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Look for ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling. Avoid ribs that are too thin or have a lot of bone.
  • Trim the ribs: Remove any excess fat or silver skin from the ribs. This will help the ribs cook more evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Use a good quality rub: The rub is what will give the ribs their flavor, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a rub that contains a variety of spices, including paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow: Ribs are best cooked low and slow. This will help them tenderize and develop a rich flavor. Cook the ribs at a temperature of 225-250 degrees Fahrenheit for 4-6 hours, or until they are fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Baste the ribs: Basting the ribs with a mixture of pineapple juice, brown sugar, and butter will help them stay moist and prevent them from drying out.
  • Let the ribs rest: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the ribs and make them even more tender.

Conclusion:

Polynesian ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your ribs turn out perfect every time. So fire up your grill and get ready to enjoy some amazing Polynesian ribs!
