Cook for another minute.

Simmer for 20 minutes on low heat.
Remove the bay leaf, blend and keep in the fridge.
For the ribs:
Preheat the oven to 160C
Place the ribs in a baking tray, we are looking for a snug fit
Pour the beer over and cover with foil
Place in the oven and cook for 2-3 hours until the ribs are tender and falling apart
Once cooled, remove from the cooking liquid, dry on paper towel and smother in a few spoonfuls of the sauce
Leave to marinate for at least an hour or in the fridge overnight.
The following day – either BBQ them or cook in a very hot oven for 20 minutes!
Enjoy!
