Instructions
 

  • Cut rashes into thirds

  • If using stove return rashes to slow cooker bowl after sealing
  • Add capsicum slices

Notes

  • Due to sugar content I only drizzled a little of the sauce over the finished pork for serving but you could add as much as you like over yours

    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 ?

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

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

  6. 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

  7. 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.

  8. Tried this recipe tonight and will definitely be making it again. So tasty! Hubby licked his plate clean and asked for some more ??

  9. Tried these last week Oh my goodness….. Delishimo…..no need to change a single thing.. You are the best Paulene…thank you 🙂

  10. 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?

  11. 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

  12. 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!!
