3 pounds boneless country-style pork ribs
6 green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained
3/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sherry or chicken stock
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh gingerroot

1 tablespoon orange marmalade
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 to 2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
Hot cooked rice, optional

Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 25 minutes. Allow pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes and then quick-release any remaining pressure. , Remove pork to a serving platter; keep warm. Skim fat from cooking juices. Select saute setting and adjust for medium heat. Bring to a boil. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth. Gradually stir cornstarch mixture into the pressure cooker. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. , Serve ribs with sauce and, if desired, rice and additional green onions.
