BBQ Style Marinated Pork Ribs

Another way to get rid of the Pineapple Juice I bought in error.... Most bought BBQ sauces have Gluten in them and to be fair Sue’s not too keen on “Fake Smoked” flavours anyway. So She made her own version….

Ingredients:-

Pineapple Juice
Brown Sauce
Mustard Powder
Tomato Ketchup
Red Wine Vinegar
Lemon Juice
Soy Sauce
Ground Cloves
Ground Ginger
2 Cloves on Garlic, minced
Cayenne Pepper
Jerk Sauce
1 Tin of Chopped Tomatoes
Tomato Puree
1 Onion, roughly chopped
Oil

Method:-

(1) Fry the Onions in a little Oil and then add the Garlic and lower the heat.
(2) Sauté until the Onions are softened.
(3) Add all the other ingredients, stir well and simmer for 20 minutes.
(4) Stir occasionally.
(5) Allow to cool a little.
(6) Dress the Pork Ribs on both side and wrap loosely in foil and allow to marinade in the fridge for 20 minutes or longer.
(7) Pre-head the oven to 180c.
(8) Place the Rib parcel in the oven covered for the first 30 minutes.
(9) Open the parcel for the last 10 minutes.
(10) To serve remove the rack of Ribs and cut into handleable pieces and spoon the BBQ Sauce over the top.

We served ours with hand cut chips, a fried Egg, some Peas and a home-made Coleslaw.  Very tasty and we have a good deal of sauce bottled in the fridge for next time…..
