3 small cans tomato sauce
1/4 cup minced onion
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp molasses
1 Tbsp corn syrup
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
2-3 tsp. liquid smoke

Mix all ingredients and simmer in a medium size saucepan for an hour
stirring
occasionally.

Combine all the ingredients in a heavy, non-reactive saucepan and gradually bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat slightly to obtain a gentle simmer. Simmer the sauce until reduced by a quarter, 6 to 8 minutes. Use right away or transfer to a large jar, cover, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate. The sauce will keep for several months.

3 1/2 cups ketchup
1 cup honey
1 8-ounce can crushed pineapple in juice
2 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper

3 racks beef back ribs (about 9 pounds total), each rack cut in half
2 1/2 cups coarsely chopped celery
1 onion, halved lengthwise
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped carrots
2 whole bay leaves
10 whole black peppercorns
1 tablespoon salt

Combine first 7 ingredients in large deep saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until very thick, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour. Cool sauce. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Place ribs in heavy large pot. Add celery, onion, carrots, bay leaves, peppercorns and 1 tablespoon salt. Add enough water to cover ribs and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until meat is tender, about 1 hour. Using tongs, remove rib racks from pot. Cool slightly. Cut between bones into individual ribs. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; refrigerate.)

Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Brush ribs with some of sauce. Grill ribs until brown and thickly glazed, occasionally turning and basting with more sauce, about 10 minutes.

Makes 6 servings.

Ok so you have to let it shimmer 1 hour, but that’s pretty fast compared to another recipe I have that asks to be left alone for 1 week!

Enjoy!
