2. In a small bowl, combine the pineapple, garlic, chiles and ginger.
3. Set the racks in a small roasting pan, meaty side up, and season generously with salt and pepper.
4. Spoon half of the pineapple mixture over each rack of ribs, spreading it evenly.
5. Pour 1/2 cup of water into the pan, cover tightly with foil and roast for 30 minutes.
6. Remove the pan from the oven and increase the temperature to 500.
7. Uncover the ribs and baste them with the pan juices.
