Pork Spareribs with Delectable Barbecue Sauce

For sumptuous ribs made fast, make the sauce a few days ahead of time. Marinating the ribs in sauce the night before makes them that much more tender.

For the sauce:

1/4		cup vegetable oil
1		large red onion, chopped
3		cloves garlic, finely chopped
1		cup tomato purée
4		tomatoes, peeled and chopped
1/2		cup orange juice
5		tablespoons vinegar
2		tablespoons packed brown sugar
2		tablespoons prepared spicy brown mustard
1		tablespoon molasses
1/2		tablespoon paprika
1/2		tablespoon pepper
1/2		tablespoon salt
1		teaspoon chili powder

3 to 4		slabs pork spareribs, about 2 pounds each

To make the sauce: In a saucepan or large skillet heat oil. Add onion and garlic and sauté 5 minutes or until translucent. Add remaining sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer uncovered 1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Process in a blender or food processor until smooth. Chill in refrigerator until ready to use or up to 3 weeks.

Place ribs in a jumbo resealable plastic bag. For each slab of ribs, pour 1/2 cup sauce over ribs; spread to coat. Close bag and marinate in refrigerator overnight. Reserve remaining sauce.

Remove ribs from bag; discard used sauce. Place ribs in center of cooking grate. Grill 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until tender. Brush with some of reserved sauce during last 20 minutes of grilling time. Cut into 2- or 3-rib portions. Serve with heated remaining sauce.

Makes 8 to 10 servings.
