For the marinade, combine all the marinade ingredients in a saucepan and simmer on the stove for 15 minutes or
until nice and glossy.
Set aside.

Place the ribs in a pan, cover them with cold water with the spices and peel. Turn the gas to low, bring to simmering point and cook for 1 hour or until meat is soft to the touch. Remove the ribs from the saucepan, place in a bowl, spread the marinade over the ribs and refrigerate for at least one hour.
