My family and I enjoyed this recipe as an alternative to the typical barbque sauce. I made the sauce as written with the addition of a little honey. I cut my ribs into portions, sprinkled with salt and pepper and browned in vegetable oil on both sides. I put the browned ribs in my slow cooker, covered with sauce and cooked on low 6 hours. I transferred the ribs to a foil lined baking sheet and thickened the sauce on the stove top using a little Wondra, basted the ribs with the thickened sauce and broiled them briefly. The ribs were fall off the bone tender. I'd make ribs again using this recipe. Thanks for sharing.

I took the others advice by putting it in the slow cooker for 8 hours. I didn't add the corn starch until the very end and according to my husband it was delicious. This recipe is a keeper.

Maybe I was expecting more flavor? I ended up putting the cooked ribs in with my crockpot ham and that marinade made these taste GREAT.

Tried it in a slow cooker and it was great. I added half Jack Daniels bbq sauce and half ketchup. Thanks for the recipe.

I'm a beef ribs person so I stepped out of my norm on this one. All in all it will be made again in my house, it went over well. I did however think it had too much of a cornstarch taste to it and will add alittle less next time but to counteract that the first time I made it I added bottled bbq sauce and pineapple juice to the sauce which cooked MUCH faster than stated. I also baked my ribs in applejuice, I served this with a rice veggie blend an it was very good.

WOW!! These Spareribs are incredible!!! I absolutely love Pineapple so I knew I would love this recipe. I was right!! It was easy and absolutely decadent!! My only complaint was that I let it cook a little too long and ruined my roaster because of the sauce. I won't complain too loudly because it was my own fault. The ribs are awesome!!

I made these for a luau-themed Christmas party and loved them! I had never done ribs at all before and yet found this recipe to be super-easy. I did follow the instructions for cooking ribs in general left in one comment (cooking the meat, covered, by itself for an hour and a half before adding the sauce). Even my husband who claims to dislike all things barbecue or "sweet meat" really liked these - he's asking me to make them again already!

My boyfriend is Hawaiian and loves ribs. So when I saw the title here, I went for it. I used country style spareribs, cut into chunks and maybe used a little more brown sugar and ginger, but they were SO good! Thank you!

These ribs were diffrent but good & it was a nice change from the usuall bbq ribs. I used another reviewer's advise to get the sauce to stick & cooked the ribs alone for an hour or so then added the sauce & cooked it for another 35 min. They were really good! Next time though I think I will try these in the crock pot. I think the sauce will soak into the meat a little better that way!

Good but not great. It was very bland, next time I would season the meat and maybe not leave the foil on the whole time, but let it brown a little so it isn't so lacking in texture. I would also add a little cayenne and not layer the ribs to make sure the bottom ribs were as flavorful as the top row. I would make again, just revamp it.

I thought these were really great ribs. The meat literally slides right off the bone. The sauce was a different taste for us, but we enjoyed it. I may try this method of baking the ribs with our favorite BBQ sauce next time.

This was a nice change to regular bbq. The sweet and sour taste was perfect for my luau. I only had country style ribs, so once the meat fell off the bone I made sandwiches using Hawaiian bread. Yummy! I did make some other changes. First, I made this in a crockpot (too hot to turn on my oven) and cooked on low for 8 hours. Then, I used 2 cans of pineapple, bbq sauce in place of ketchup, couple dashed of cayenne, and added a little more cornstarch in the middle of cooking to thicken. I will make this again. Thank you! This is great with any slow cooked pork!

I followed this recipe pretty exact, and it was pretty good. I think I would add more savory (& less sweet) components to it in the future.

I spiced it up with some Stubb's Mesquite Smokey BBQ sauce, some more soy sauce and brown sugar. Turned out delicious and everybody raved about them. They disappeared off the table FAST. Great dish.

Good ribs, I enjoyed the sauce, but I do agree with another reviewer who said it was a little lacking in depth. I decreased the vinegar a bit and added a little chili sauce and cayenne to give it a kick, and I did use the fresh ginger too, but it tasted like it was missing something. Next time I'll add some barbecue sauce to replace some of the ketchup, increase the soy sauce and brown sugar, and add a bit more spice. Definitely very tasty, and worth making (with a few tweaks) again. I'd like to try them on the grill.
