Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
Combine all Ribs ingredients in a bowl and rub generously over the pork ribs.
Place ribs in a baking dish and cover tightly with foil. Bake for 3 hours.
While ribs are baking, prepare the Sauce. Combine all Sauce ingredients in a saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove ribs from oven and increase oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
Brush ribs generously with the Sauce. Return to oven, uncovered, and bake for another 30-45 minutes, basting with Sauce every 15 minutes, until ribs are tender and Sauce is caramelized.
