Slow-Cooked Pork Ribs With Sweet And Sour Sauce

Slow-Cooked  Pork Ribs With Sweet And Sour Sauce


1. At least a day before serving, in a large saucepan, stir tomato sauce with orange juice, onion, celery, vinegar, honey and ginger.

2. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally to develop flavour, about 1 hour.

3. Stir often near end of cooking. Cool slightly then puree.

4. Working in batches, purée in a blender and pour into bowl or jar.

5. Cover and refrigerate at least overnight or up to 3 days.

6. Meanwhile, slice pork into four-rib portions and place in a very large bowl.

7. Finely chop or mince garlic. Finely chop jalapeño including seeds.

8. Place garlic and jalapeños in a small bowl.

9. Stir in oil, paprika and salt. Rub over ribs. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

10. About 3 hours before serving, preheat oven to 375F (190C).

11. Place ribs in a very large roasting pan. Pour sauce overtop. Turn to evenly coat. It’s ok if ribs overlap.

12. Cover tightly with foil. Bake in centre of oven for 1 1/2 hours. Remove and discard foil. Turn ribs, spooning sauce overtop. Continue baking, turning ribs occasionally and basting, until very tender, from 1 to 11/2 hours.

13. Remove pan to a heatproof surface. Place ribs on a platter. Spoon sauce in pan over ribs.

14. For the ultimate comfort dinner, serve with baked or mashed potatoes and corn.
