PREPARATION

1. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Refrigerate until use. 2. Wash ribs and remove thin membrane covering the back. Coat ribs evenly with Jerk Spice. Arrange in a 17-by-12-by-1-inch baking pan. Pour Wet Jerk Marinade over ribs. Cover baking pan with foil and refrigerate overnight. Remove racks of ribs from marinade, and bring to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Brush ribs with 3. Habanero Vinegar. Prepare grill for cooking over indirect heat with medium-hot charcoals (moderate heat for gas grill).
4. Lightly oil grill rack, then transfer ribs to area of rack with no coals underneath or with shutoff burner if using gas grill.
5. Cook, covered with lid, until tender, 1½ to 2 hours. If using charcoal grill, add coals as needed to maintain medium heat.
6. After 45 minutes, brush ribs with Pineapple Glaze. Brush two or three more times before serving.
7. Ribs are done when meat is well-browned and has shrunk back from the ends of the bones.
8. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes before cutting into individual ribs.
9. Garnish with Pineapple Salsa.
