- Lay ribs flat on a tray. Pour apple cider vinegar under the ribs, cover the ribs with foil and bake for 1.5 hours.
- While these are baking, combine BBQ sauce ingredients in a pot and simmer (stirring occasionally) for 45 minutes, or until the sauce is thick.
- Remove the ribs from oven and increase the temperature to 2200°C. Drizzle the ribs with olive oil and return them to the oven for 15 minutes (without foil) until they appear crispy.
- Remove the ribs from oven and transfer into a lined tray.
- Brush the ribs with lots of homemade bbq sauce and bake again, brushing frequently with sauce, until ribs are browned and glazed. Turn the ribs every 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and using scissors, cut into portions of about 3 ribs and serve with warm BBQ sauce.
