In large pan, cook ribs in boiling water 45-60 minutes or until tender. Meanwhile, in medium saucepan, combine remaining ingredients; simmer uncovered 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Grill or broil ribs as desired, turning and basting frequently with sauce. Refrigerate leftovers.
To pre-cook ribs, place 1 1/2 lbs of ribs in 12x7" shallow baking dish. Add 1/4 cup water and cover with vented plastic wrap.
Microwave on full power (high) 5 minutes. Reduce to 1/2 power (medium); continue cooking 7 minutes.
Turn ribs over, cook covered on 1/2 power (medium) 7 minutes longer. Repeat with remaining ribs. Proceed as above.
