Ingredients

3 lbs	pork spare ribs	1.5 kg
	salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup	finely diced onion	125 mL
1/4 cup	diced green pepper	60 mL
28 oz	tomato sauce	800 mL
1 tbsp	Worcestershire sauce	15 mL
1/3 cup	cider or wine vinegar	75 mL
1 can	pineapple tidbits, with juice (14 oz/398 mL)	1 can
1/4 cup	brown sugar	60 mL
1/2 tsp	dry mustard	3 mL

Cut meat after every third rib, about half way through the strip. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Place in a shallow roasting pan. Bake in 350°F/180°C oven for 75 minutes. Drain off all excess fat.

While ribs are roasting, mix the remaining ingredients and let stand to blend the flavor. Pour over the ribs after 75 minutes of baking.

Bake another 90 minutes, basting frequently to coat the ribs with the sauce.
