Pork Bar B Q Ribs

To cook an excellent barbecue, you need to create a good barbecue rub mix and sauce. Here's a great recipe I learned from our yearly ribfests back when I was living in Chicago.


Barbecue Rub Mix:
     1 cup brown sugar
     1/2 cup salt
     2 tablespoons paprika
     1 tablespoon celery seeds
     1 tablespoon cumin
     1 tablespoon dried chili powder
     2 tablespoons garlic powder


Barbecue Sauce: (Bring to a boil)
     2 cups ketchup (Hunts)
     2 cups apple cider vinegar
     1 lemon (juice)
     1 cup of the rub mix
     1 cup water (depending on the thickness you can add                 some more)


Boil the ribs in a pot of beer for 30 to 45 minutes and set aside. Massage the ribs with the rub and marinade overnight. 


Cook the ribs on a charcoal pit until brown and during the last minute of cooking, brush the ribs with the barbecue sauce until it forms a glaze. Set aside and brush some more of the sauce. Serve with some boiled corn!
