Molasses Barbecued Ribs

Yield: 6 Servings

Ingredients and directions for this recipe

SOAKING MIXTURE
2 c Water
1 c White vinegar
2 tb Salt

-SAUCE-
2 tb Vegetable oil
1 c Chopped onions
3/4 c Chopped green pepper
3/4 c Minced celery; including
-celery leaves
1 tb Chopped garlic
2 c Chopped drained canned
-tomatoes
1/3 c Red wine vinegar
1/4 c Unsulfered molasses
2 Lemon wedges (each 1/8 of
-the whole lemon)
1/2 ts Ground cloves
1/2 ts Ground allspice
2 tb Tomato paste
1 tb Dry mustard
1 ts Salt

Combine the soaking mixture ingredients and soak the ribs for 2 to 4 hours.

Heat the oil in a heavy 10 inch skillet, and over low heat saute' the
onions, green pepper, celery and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are
soft, about
10 minutes.

Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and
simmer for 30 minutes. The sauce should be thick. Discard the lemon wedges
and put the sauce quickly through a food processor fitted with the steel
blade. Don't puree the sauce; it should retain a good deal of texture. The
blender will homogenize it too much. A good alternative to a food processor
is a food mill.

Grill the ribs, basting and turning every 15-20 minutes. Serve the
remaining sauce, heated, with the ribs.
