Burnt Tongue BBQ Sauce

Ingredients

• 2 cups ketchup
• 2 cups distilled white vinegar
• 1 cup dark corn syrup
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 1 tablespoon red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 4 teaspoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons liquid smoke
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 1/2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce (Tabasco sauce)
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Directions

1. 1

   Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan.

2. 2

   Using a wire whisk, mix ingredients until smooth.

3. 3

   Bring bbq sauce to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer the sauce to desired thickness (I simmer mine for about an hour).

4. 4

   Remove sauce from heat when thickened and pour into a one quart jar.

5. 5

   This recipe will generously coat 4 lbs of ribs, with sauce left over for dipping.

6. 6

   For bbq pork spareribs, cut ribs in 3-6 rib sections.

7. 7

   Coat rib sections generously with bbq sauce and wrap in tinfoil.

8. 8

   If you have time, I suggest you marinate these ribs in the refrigerator for 24-36 hours.

9. 9

   Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

10. 10

    Cook ribs wrapped in foil for 2-3 hours at 300 degrees, ribs are ready when the meat has shrunk and about 1/2 inch of the bone is sticking out.

11. 11

    Remove ribs from tinfoil and coat generously with bbq sauce.

12. 12

    Bbq ribs for 2-3 minutes per side, or until sauce starts to char a little (if you like your sauce burnt more just bbq longer).
