Step 1

Simmer cola over low heat until it is reduced to one quart. Submerge the ribs in Coke® syrup for 24 hours in a casserole dish. Cut the racks to fit the pan if necessary. Or use a large, heavy plastic bag. Remove the ribs from the marinade and season with dry rub. Smoke the ribs for 1 1/2 hours at 220°F. Slice and serve with barbecue sauce.

In a large skillet, fry the bacon until it gives up its grease, add onion, garlic, ginger, and black pepper and cook until onions are translucent. Add the brown sugar, Worchestershire, juice concentrate, vinegar and Tabasco and bring to a boil. Add ketchup and simmer 10 minutes.
