Carolina is famous for its BBQ. Everyone who lives in the Carolinas has their own recipe. This BBQ sauce is not too sweet or sour, its just right. Its easy to make and remember. Most people have the ingredients on hand. I used to buy a Boston butt roast (pork) and put it in a crock pot with this sauce. Cook until done then remove. Pour off the grease (there is quite a lot). Remove any bones. Add more sauce, if necessary I'd make more. Chop up the meat and serve. Makes excellent Barbeque Pork.

Pork Spare Ribs Recipe

1 rack of Pork Spare Ribs

bbq sauce above

boil pork spare ribs until tender. (you have to do this, cause if you don't the meat will be tough) Heat pan or grill till hot. Put ribs on hot grill or in pan. brown on both sides. cover with bbq sauce. if using a pan, bring to a boil. turn heat down to simmer for about 1 hour. if you are grilling, brown each side, then use a brush and coat bbq sauce on top. cover grill, and reduce heat if you can by adjusting air vents. keep a close eye on the meat while grilling so it doesn't burn. the idea is to let the flavor of the bbq sauce seep into the meat.
