• 3 1/2 C ketchup
• 1 C honey
• 1 8-oz can crushed pineapple in juice
• 2 1/4 t garlic powder
• 1 t dried oregano
• 1 t dried thyme
• 1/2 t dried crushed red pepper
• 3 racks beef back ribs (about 9 lbs total), each cut in half
• 2 1/2 C coarsely chopped celery
• 1 onion, halved lengthwise
• 1 1/2 C coarsely chopped carrots
• 2 whole bay leaves

1. Combine first 7 ingredients in large deep saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until very thick, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour. Cool sauce. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and refriderate.)
2. Place ribs in heavy pot. Add celery, onion, carrots, bay leaves, peppercorns and 1 T salt. Add enough water to cover ribs and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until meat is tender, about 1 hour. Using tongs, remove rib racks from pot. Cool slightly. Cut between bones into individual ribs. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
3. Prepare barbeque (medium heat). Brush ribs with some of the sauce. Grill ribs until brown and thickly glazed, occasionally turning and basting with more sauce, about 10 minutes.
