Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Preheat large ovenproof saute pan to medium-high. Season short ribs with salt and pepper, add oil to pan and sear both sides until golden brown. Push ribs to outside of pan and add garlic, ginger and diced fruit. Saute until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add soy sauce, hoisin sauce, vinegar, honey, and mix to combine. Cover with lid, place in oven and cook for 2 hours or until tender. Remove from oven and garnish with scallions and cilantro if desired. Serve over rice.
