Bake until tender, about 2 hours.

Reduce heat to medium-low.

Boil, stirring occasionally, until syrupy, 2 to 3 minutes.

Reserve about half (13 cup) of sauce for serving.

Set aside remaining sauce for basting.

Preheat grill to medium-high (400F to 450F).

Unwrap ribs, and discard any liquid in foil.

Place ribs on oiled grates.

Transfer ribs to a platter, and drizzle with sauce reserved for serving.

If desired, garnish with scallions.
