ABOUT 2 HOURS BEFORE SERVING OR DAY AHEAD: 1. In 8-quart saucepot or Dutch oven over high heat, heat spare ribs and enough water to cover to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 1 hour or until spareribs are fork-tender. Remove ribs to platter. If not serving right away, cover and refrigerate.

Place pan in broiler at closest position to source of heat; broil pineapple slices 5 minutes. Turn pineapple slices; sprinkle with remaining 1 T sugar and broil 5 minutes longer or until pineapple slices are browned. Remove pineapple to platter; keep warm.

3. Arrange cooked spareribs on same rack in broiling pan, Place pan in broiler with spareribs about 5 to 7 inches from source of heat (or with oven control set at 450'F.); broil ribs 10 minutes, turning them once.

4. Meanwhile, reserve 1 T crystallized ginger for garnish. In small bowl, mix salsa-style catchup, remaining crystallized ginger, and ¼ cup water.

5. Brush spareribs generously with salsa-style catchup mixture; broil 10 minutes longer or until heated through, turning ribs occasionally and brushing with remaining salsa style catchup mix- ture.
