Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (about 350 degrees Fahrenheit).

Clean the pork ribs by removing excess fat.

Season the pork ribs with jerk seasoning, rubbing it in on both sides.

Place the seasoned ribs in a baking dish lined with parchment paper.

Add 1/2 cup to 1 cup of water to the baking dish to keep the ribs moist while baking.

Cover the dish with an extra sheet of foil for moisture retention.

Put the baking dish in the oven and bake for 1.5 hours.

Prepare the sauce by combining 1 cup (250 ml) of red label wine, 1 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar, and 1 full can of tomato sauce in a pot.

Add 3 tablespoons of tomato paste and 1/4 teaspoon of seasoning of your choice to the sauce mixture.

Incorporate a bit of scotch bonnet pepper for spiciness.

Boil the sauce on medium heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until it thickens.

Remove the ribs from the oven and strain the liquid from the baking dish.

Mix some of the strained liquid into the sauce for added flavor.

Brush the sauce generously over the ribs, coating them well.

Flip the ribs over and coat the other side with sauce.

Return the ribs to the oven for an additional 30 minutes.

Remove the ribs from the oven and place them on a cutting board for serving.
