Out Of This World Spare Ribs
2 slabs pork spare ribs (I use 1 roughly 3 1/2 lb. rack)
2 tbs. chili powder (I don't use nearly as much because I think it's too spicy)
coarse salt and ground pepper
Homemade Barbecue sauce
1 tbs. butter
1/2 small onion, grated
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tbs. worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper (optional)
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tbs. molasses
1 tbs. yellow (or spicy) mustard
1) Preheat oven to 400 deg. F. Season ribs with chili powder, salt, and pepper. Put ribs on a double layer of aluminum foil; wrap tightly. Place on a rimmed baking sheet. Cook meat 1 1/2 hours.
2) Meanwhile, make barbecue sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add remaining sauce ingredients and stir well. Bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thick, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
3) When ribs are done cooking from step 1, carefully remove the ribs from the foil, pouring off any accumulated liquid. Pour on all the sauce, (yes, it's a lot, but it will reduce) and spread it on both sides of the ribs. Cook in 400 deg. F. oven for 30 minutes, and every 10 minutes, baste it with sauce on baking sheet. Flip ribs over each time so the sauce cooks well on both sides. You can cook it longer if you want for the sauce to reduce even further. Or, if you don't like so much sauce cooked on it, you can reserve some for dipping instead.
