Spareribs with homemade Barbecue Sauce
Slice in between your ribs, about one third on both ends. This way, your rub will go in between the ribs and add more flavor.
Ingredients for the rub
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup paprika powder
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon white pepper
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- salt to taste
Mix your ingredients and massage them into the ribs. Put the ribs aside until you are ready to grill. It is best to leave them over night but a few ours works also fine. Make, in the meantime, your mop.
Ingredients for the mop
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 onion
- 6 cloves of garlic, chopped
- 1 14-ounce tin of sliced tomatoes, drain
- 1 cup vinegar
- ½ cup molasses
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons of chili powder
- 1 tablespoon of mustard powder
Soften the onion and garlic in the butter and add the tomatoes, vinegar and Worcestershire Sauce. Stir them together and add all the spices and the sugar. Bring your sauce to a boil and let it reduce until you have a nice, thick barbecue sauce. If it is too lumpy for your taste, you can smooth it out in the blender.
Because of the vinegar and the sugar, this sauce should keep for several weeks in your refrigerator.
The grilling of your ribs
Preheat your grill to 250 Fahrenheit and only use your outside burners. Place your spareribs in the middle and let them cook for two hours.
Then baste the ribs well with the mop; you should have enough so there is no need to hold back when applying it. Cook your spareribs another hour and baste them again. After one more hour (four in total), your ribs should be done. Check the temperature with a food thermometer. It should read a minimum of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
