• YIELD

  8to 14 racks of ribs

INGREDIENTS

 
Barbecue Sauce

• 1 1/4 cups honey-flavored sweetener
• 16 oz. hoisin sauce
• 16 oz. black bean sauce
• 28 oz. ketchup
• 1 tbsp. minced ginger
• 1 tbsp. white pepper
• 1/2 cup dry sherry
• 1/2 sesame oil

Seasoning Mix

• 1/2 cup sea salt
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 tsp. white pepper

Painting Mix

• 2 tbsp. red food coloring
• 6 tbsp. egg food coloring
• 6 tbsp. soy sauce
• 6 tbsp. dry sherry

DIRECTIONS

Combine seasoning-mix ingredients and rub over both sides of the ribs.

Combine painting mix together and paint over ribs.

Place ribs on roasting rack at 275 degrees for 1 hour.

Use the barbecue sauce to marinate the ribs on both sides.

Return to oven at 300 degrees on a wire rack for 1 to 2 hours, until ribs start to pull from bone.

Raise oven temperature to 325 degrees and cook for an additional hour: baste with barbecue sauce.

For a sweeter taste, brush honey over ribs when removed from oven or before serving.

To give the ribs a shiny look, brush with oil.

Barbecue sauce works equally well on all types of ribs: baby backs, St. Louis or country ribs. Be sure to adjust cooking times according to type of ribs being used. Barbecue sauce works well for chicken and other protein too.
