RECIPE INGREDIENTS
4 pounds pork back ribs, cut into serving-size pieces
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons each salt, pepper, chili powder and ground cumin
For the Barbecue Sauce:
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground mustard
1 teaspoon celery seed
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
DIRECTIONS
Rub ribs with garlic; place in a shallow roasting pan. Cover and bake at 300 degrees F for 2 hours.
Cool slightly. Combine the seasonings and rub over ribs. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
In a saucepan, saute onion in butter until tender. Stir in the remaining sauce ingredients.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook and stir until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat; set aside 3/4 cup.
Brush ribs with some of the remaining sauce. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 12 minutes, turning and basting with sauce. Serve with reserved sauce.
