1. Place ribs in large frying pan or roasting pan. Cover with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour, or until meat is tender but not quite falling off the bone. Remove from heat, and drain.
2. While the ribs are simmering, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic until the onion softens. Remove from the heat.
3. In a blender, combine vinegar, water, tomato sauce, barbecue sauce and lemon juice. Pour in the melted butter mixture and purée for 1 minute.
4. Pour into the saucepan, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then remove from heat.
5. Place the cooked ribs in a roasting pan and mix with the sauce. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to overnight.
6. Preheat barbecue for medium-high heat.
7. Brush the grill hotplate with oil. Cook ribs for 10 to 20 minutes or until well browned, basting with sauce and turning frequently.
