Homemade Hawaiian Spare Ribs Recipe

This recipe was handed down to me from my mother. The recipe is based on one pound because we have a small family. The recipe is very flexible so you can use jarred mustard yellow or spicy instead of dry mustard. The brown sugar you can adjust according to your taste. Some people prefer spare ribs instead of country ribs but I like the country ribs because there is so much more meat on them. The green pepper can also be adjusted according to your taste. I use the large stocky can of crushed pineapple and tomato puree just to give you an idea. These ribs are fantastic and they really taste like they are made in Hawaii.

In a medium size pot, combine all of the ingredients except the pineapple. Simmer on medium low heat stirring occasionally until sauce thickens or the green pepper and celery are soft. If sauce does not look like it is getting thick, add just a bit more tomato puree. Pour over ribs, cover then put in the oven for 1 hour or until meat is tender. Towards the end of the cooking time, add pineapple.
