2 cups (500ml) malt vinegar
2 quarts (2 liters) water
6 bay leaves
3 sticks cinnamon
1/2 cup (90g) brown sugar
1/4 cup (75g) rock salt
1 brown onion, quartered
2 kg (about 4 1/2 pounds) American-style pork ribs

1/2 cup (125ml) malt vinegar
1/4 cup (60ml) Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Instructions:

Place the vinegar, water, bay leaves, cinnamon, sugar, rock salt and onion in a large saucepan over high heat. Stir to combine and bring to the boil.
Add the ribs, reduce the heat to medium and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Simmer for 30–40 minutes or until the pork is tender.

Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
Remove the ribs from the cooking liquid and place, meat-side down, in a large deep-sided ovenproof dish. Top with the glaze and roast for 15 minutes.
Turn the ribs over, baste with the glaze and roast for a further 15 minutes or until the pork is tender and the glaze is reduced. Brush with any remaining glaze and slice to serve.
