Note

For a smokier flavor, you can grill the ribs on an outdoor barbecue instead of baking. Cook over indirect heat, basting frequently, until the sauce is caramelized and ribs are tender.

If Galliano is unavailable, you can substitute with a mix of orange liqueur and a pinch of anise seeds or fennel seeds for a similar herbal note.

Parboiling ensures the ribs are tender even if they aren't the highest quality cut. For fall-off-the-bone texture, increase the boiling time to 45 minutes.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
