Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. In a large bowl, mix together the passata, garlic, soy sauce, honey and Worcestershire sauce.
  2. Add the pork ribs to the bowl and mix well to coat evenly. Lay the ribs and all the sauce into a large, shallow roasting tin. Cover with foil and bake for 35 mins.
  3. Remove foil from tray and bake the ribs for a further 45-60 mins, turning them a couple of times, until sticky and almost all of the sauce has disappeared. To make ahead, cook or half-cook the ribs the night before and keep in the fridge until needed.

    I used 3tbsps and it it worked out fine - any more and I think you'd be looking at a VERY sticky, very sweet set of ribs

    My whole family love it whenever I do it. It's easy and delicious. My version however contains a pinch of chili too and sometimes I bake it with vegetables, from which I make a sauce at the end. Carrots, onion and celeriac and if I have, some red vine...

    These were very delicious, but didn't feel they were as sticky as the name suggested! However they were still lovely and tender and so much nicer than using a bottled sauce!

    I cooked these for a little longer than stated to allow more of the sauce to dissipate/soak into the ribs. The result was great and was well received by everyone. As someone else said they are not too sticky but are highly recommended.

    Going to cook these today, is it best to leave the ribs whole or chop them into smaller pieces before cooking?

    Pretty good recipe, but I thought it was missing something, and I've discovered what it was! I use less passata (about 250 gms) and about a half teaspoon of hot smoked paprika....it really lifts it!
