Hi guys, I have no idea what pork rashers are…. but have noticed someone has mentioned spare ribs and pork belly. Just wondering what I should use as this sounds delicious

I just use regular white sugar for this one.
Whichever you prefer for the pineapple will be fine 🙂

Hi Paulene just want to check what type of sugar do you use? Crushed pineapple in syrup ok or am I better getting natural juices?

I’m diabetic so I only used 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of artificial sweetener. I’m yet to see how it turns out because it won’t be ready for another three and a half hours.

I loved this recipe although I didn’t have 1kg of spare ribs so I did all liquids as 1/4 cup and 1 spoon of mustard and half the pineapple as I didn’t want much liquid

I used brown but you could just reduce the sugar next time 🙂

Is this with brown or white sugar? Made it once before and used brown but very sweet.. Maybe white was the go?

We had this last night for dinner. It was delicious. My 2 fussy girls ate it with little fuss which is a rarity when we try something new. I only put in half a cup of sugar instead of 3/4 & found it just right. Will def have it again.

What sort of mustard? I have American, would that work? Planning on cooking today.

This was amazing! The family wanted seconds, but unfortunately was all gone! My husband said this was the best slow cooker meal I have done yet. The only difference I made to the recipe was less sugar, I only put 1/2 a cup in and it was still sweet but perfect. At the end of 5 hours I reduced the sauce on the browning mode in the Sunbeam Cook & Sear. Will definitely be doing again. Love your recipes Paulene.

This was amazing. Everyone loved it! Bowls licked clean. I did only use 1/2 cup of sugar, but next time I think I will use even less as it was a bit too sweet for us. I reduced the sauce at the end until it was sticky. Love your recipes Paulene.

Looks delicious Paulene! Just wondering do you leave the skin on or could you cut it off. Although the meat may collapse. Would you brown or crisp it up in a hot oven before serving ?

Made this tonight for the first time. A big hit!
I used monkfruit sweetener instead of sugar and I added peas and carrots.
Next time I might 1/2 the soy and vinegar and not add sugar / sweetener but add whole tin of pineapple including juice.
I’ll report back!!
