Place marinade in a small saucepan over high heat and simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened. After the 20 minutes, brush the ribs with the hot marinade and roast for a further 10 minutes. Repeat 3 times at 10-minute intervals or until well browned. Serve with roasted potato wedges and remaining marinade. Serves 4.
