Caribbean Sticky Spare Ribs

== Description ==
Who can resist sticky barbecued spare ribs? These Caribbean style ribs are simmered in a jerk-style sauce. You can buy jars of ground jerk seasoning in most supermarkets. It’s a mix of thyme, cinnamon, coriander, garlic ginger and, of course, chili! If you’re doing these for a barbecue, simmer in the sauce the day before then leave to marinate overnight in the fridge before putting on the barbecue to brown and crisp.
== Ingredients ==
* 500 g. Bramley apples, quartered and cored
* 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
* 1 red onion, chopped
* 2 cm. piece root ginger, peeled and grated
* 3 tsp. jerk spice mix
* 3 tbsp. tomato ketchup
* 2 ⅞ tbsp. black treacle
* 300 ml. pineapple juice, 
* 1 kg. (2 lb. 2 oz.) pork spare ribs
* salt and pepper to taste
== Preparation ==
# Coarsely grate the Bramley apples. 
# Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the apples, onion, and ginger and sauté for 4 minutes.
# Add the jerk seasoning, ketchup, treacle, and pineapple juice and bring to the boil.
# Add the spare ribs to the pan, season, cover and bring to the boil. 
# Then simmer for 30 minutes, turning occasionally until the ribs are tender and the sauce reduced.
# Lift the ribs from the sauce and cook under a hot grill or barbecue for 10-15 minutes, turning and brushing with more sauce until the ribs are crispy and golden brown.
# Serve with plenty of napkins and a finger bowl
