Ingredients

Method

1.Preheat oven to 160°C. Line a roasting pan with foil.
2.Remove the membrane from the underside of the ribs and cut them into sections. Place in pan, cover with foil and bake for 1½-2 hours until tender.
3.While ribs are baking, combine all the remaining ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half – it should be glossy and thickened.
4.Heat the grill or barbecue. Brush the ribs generously with sauce and grill, basting as required, until glaze is bubbling and ribs are piping hot.

To remove the membrane, find the cut edge and slip your fingers between the membrane and the ribs, gradually working along the length of the meat.
