BBQ Sauce
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. brown sugar
3 beef bouillon cubes
2 c. water
1/2 c. prepared mustard
1/4 c. white vinegar
1/2 c. Worcestershire sauce
3 c. tomato sauce
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes, use more if you like it hot and spicy
1 heaping T. chili powder
Combine all the ingredients in a heavy pot and simmer for approximately 2 hours uncovered or until desired thickness is achieved. Watch that the sauce does not burn. Stir often. Sauce may be stored in the refrigerator for a long time, frozen or canned. (Makes 1 quart)
Baby Back Ribs
3 or 4 whole slabs of baby back ribs, cut in half *
1 large onion, cut in half
6 garlic cloves, cut in half
1 T. whole black peppercorns
1 T. whole green peppercorns
1 T. whole white peppercorns
1 T. whole juniper berries
1 T. whole coriander seeds
2 whole bay leaves
Full a 12 or 16-qt stock pot with water to within 3 inches of the top. Add in the ribs, garlic cloves, onion, spices and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 40-45 minutes until the ribs are fork tender when pricked with a fork. Remove the ribs and brush with the sauce on both sides. Place on a hot grill (with a few pre-soaked Jack Daniels or Hickory chips if desired) and brush the top with the a little more sauce. Cover the grill and let them cook for 6-8 minutes and then turn and coat other side and let cook for another 5 minutes with the lid on until the sauce is nicely browned. Serve with extra sauce on the side if desired. If your grill does not have a lid the smoke flavor will be slightly less, but it will still work okay.
* St. Louis baby backs are the best (small ones) also the best slab weigh for least amount of fat and more meat is as close to 1 3/4 pounds as you can get. Under is no meat and over 2 pounds per slab they get too fatty...
