BBQ Glazed Country Ribs

Nothing says barbecue like ribs (pork or beef), and these BBQ Glazed Country Ribs are an example delicious.

Ingredients

1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup water

1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup cider vinegar or wine vinegar
1/4 cup mild-flavored molasses
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 1/2 - 3 pounds pork country-style ribs

Directions

For sauce, in a medium saucepan combine ketchup, water, onion, vinegar, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, and garlic. 

Bring to boiling; reduce heat. 

Simmer, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes or until desired consistency, stirring often.

Trim fat from ribs. 

For a charcoal grill, arrange medium-hot coals around a drip pan. 

Test for medium heat above pan. 

Place ribs, bone-side down, on grill rack over pan. (Or, place ribs in a rib rack; place on grill rack.) 

Cover and grill for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until tender, brushing occasionally with sauce during the last 10 minutes of grilling. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Adjust for indirect cooking. Place ribs in a roasting pan, place on grill rack, and grill as above.) 

Pass remaining sauce with ribs.
