Ribs Tropicana
Ingredients:
– 2 racks of baby back ribs
– 1 cup pineapple juice
– 1/2 cup soy sauce
– 1/4 cup honey
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground ginger
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 2 tablespoons water
– Pineapple wedges and cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Prepare the ribs by removing the membrane from the back of the racks. This will help the flavors penetrate the meat and make for a more tender result.
2. In a bowl, mix together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ground ginger, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to create the marinade for the ribs.
3. Place the ribs in a large baking dish or roasting pan, and pour the marinade over them, making sure to coat them evenly. Cover the dish with foil and let the ribs marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
4. After marinating, transfer the ribs and marinade to the preheated oven. Roast the ribs for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
5. While the ribs are roasting, prepare the glaze by combining the brown sugar, cornstarch, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a glossy glaze.
6. Once the ribs are cooked, remove them from the oven and brush them generously with the tropical glaze. Return the ribs to the oven and broil them for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the glaze is sticky and caramelized.
7. Serve the Ribs Tropicana hot, garnished with pineapple wedges and fresh cilantro if desired.
