Preparation

Step 1

Sauce:
Place all ingredients in large saucepan. Cover and simmer gently 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

RESERVE 1/2 of sauce and refrigerate to serve with ribs. Generously brush ribs with 1/3 of remaining sauce. Cover and let ribs stand 30 to 60 minutes at room temperature. Place ribs on grill rack 4 to 6 inches above medium-hot charcoal or medium-high heat. Cover grill; open vents slightly. After 30 minutes, turn ribs; brush with more sauce. Cover and cook 30 minutes longer or until well browned, brushing once more with sauce. Reheat REFRIGERATED sauce; serve with ribs.

Smoked Ribs: Soak hickory chips or chunks in water (to cover) at least 30 minutes, using 1/4- to 1/2-lb. chips for lightly smoked flavor. Squeeze water from 1 or 2 handfuls of soaked wood; sprinkle on hot coals. Add more chips halfway through cooking.
