To prepare the ribs, you need to remove the thin membrane. Place the ribs on a cutting board and using a knife, slice it under the membrane to start it then using your fingers pull the membrane off of the bones. If it is slippery hold on with a paper towel.
Season the ribs with salt and pepper.
Place the ribs into the prepared pan and put into the oven.
Cook for 3 1/2 to 4 hours until the meat is falling off the bone.
Remove the ribs from the oven. Remove the aluminum foil.
Place the ribs back into the roaster and using a pastry brush, coat both sides of the ribs with the sauce.(below)
Turn the broiler onto high.
Place the coated ribs under the broil and broil for a few minutes, just until the sauce begins to caramelize.
Serve and enjoy.
