Soy-Glazed Spareribs

I love spareribs. Sweet and sour, barbecued, honey/garlic...You name it, I'll always ask for more. This rib recipe is a little different than most are accustomed to but don't be fooled. These taste fantastic.

INGREDIENTS

• 4 to 5 Lbs. pork spareribs (cut into two-rib pieces)


• Salt and pepper (to taste)


• 1/2 Cup pineapple juice


• 2 Tbsp. garlic-flavoured wine vinegar*


• 1/4 Cup dry white wine


• 2 Tbsp. soy sauce


• 2 Tbsp. honey


• 1/2 Cup chicken broth


• 2 Tbsp. cornstarch


• 3 Tbsp. cold water

* If finding garlic flavoured vinegar is hard, just mash 1/2 clove of garlic and add to plain white vinegar before adding to recipe.

Place spareribs on rack in shallow baking pan. Brown in 400° oven for 30 minutes, turning ribs once. Remove from oven and pour off fat. Sprinkle ribs with salt and pepper and place in crock pot. Combine remaining ingredients except cornstarch and water. Pour over ribs. Cover and cook on low 7 to 9 hours. Turn control to high. Dissolve cornstarch in 3 tablespoons cold water. Stir into rib mixture. Cook 10 to 15 minutes or until slightly thickened.
