Hawaiian Ribs

4 pounds spareribs, cut into serving size pieces
3/4 cup water
1 cup brown sugar
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple (do not drain)
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 cup vinegar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3/4 cup chili sauce
1 tablespoon yellow mustard

Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Arrange ribs, meaty side down, in a foil lined pan. Cover and bake for 45 minutes.

In a saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir in vinegar, chili sauce, water, undrained pineapple, onion, soy sauce, and mustard. Cook and stir over medium heat until thick and bubbly; cook and stir 2 minutes more. Remove the pan from the oven and drain the fat from the ribs. Turn the ribs meaty side up. Spoon 2 cups sauce over the ribs. Reserve the remaining sauce in the pan.

Cover the ribs and bake 45 minutes longer or until tender.

Remove the ribs to a platter.

Heat the sauce in the pan and serve with the ribs.
