Sweet & Sour Spareribs
by Annie Lee (Chris's Grandmother)

2 lb spareribs, cut into bite size pieces
1 t cornstarch
1 t gin
1 t salt (we never used salt because of the soyu)
4 t soy sauce

Marinate to coat.  Let stand for 10 minutes.

Sauce:

1/2 c sugar
1/2 c vinegar
1 piece ginger (flatten that with a knife for more flavor)

Brown ribs in oil; drain oil and pour sweet sauce in pan.  Bring to boil;
add ribs.  Bring to boil again; simmer 45 min. to 1 hr. or when tender.
Add chunks of pineapple.

I tried to clarify from the original recipe.  As I remember, it didn't
take that long to cook.  Also, the amounts of the ingredients are probably
made up from Mom's original; she never measured anything!
