Place the ribs in a big pot with the poaching ingredients and enough cold water to cover the meat comfortably.
Bring to the boil and then turn down heat to low, allowing the ribs to simmer gently for about 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the glaze ingredients and preheat oven to 200C.
Remove the poached ribs from the poaching pot and dip into the glaze, coating the ribs thoroughly on both sides.
Place in a single layer on a lined baking dish and bake 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Baste the ribs on both sides with the remaining glaze and return the ribs to the oven for a further 10-15 minutes until the glaze has caramelised.
