MESS O' MAMA'S BARBECUE



Mess o' Mama's Barbecue image

This recipe is sooooo good and surprisingly easy to do. You can do these wonderful ribs right in the oven and people just rave about them. The sauce for this recipe is very easy to make and you can use it over pork chops, shoulder, or most any other pork cut and it is absolutely delicious. I rarely buy bottled sauce anymore. I hope you enjoy this recipe!

MOM'S BBQ SAUCE (FOR GRILLED RIBS)



Mom's BBQ Sauce (For Grilled Ribs) image

I thought I had lost this! I loved the smell of this cooking on the stove. It brings back memories of my parents and their friends making this when we spent summers in Long Beach Island, NJ. You can adjust for the amount of sauce you need. I just adjusted to make 2-3 cups for 2 packages of ribs (about 4-5 lbs.) and I used Splenda brown sugar for my husband.

MAMA'S BARBECUE SAUCE



Mama's Barbecue Sauce image

There has seldom been a time in my life when a mason jar of this sauce wasn't in a corner of my mother or grandmother's refrigerator. The truth of the matter is, once you have had homemade you will go off the store-bought kind for good.

Yield makes about 6 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 onion, preferably Vidalia, very finely chopped
2 1/2 cups ketchup
2 cups apple cider or distilled white vinegar
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
Juice of 2 lemons
2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
Coarse salt

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat; add the onions and simmer until soft and melted, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, brown sugar, lemon juice, and pepper.
  • Bring to a boil, decrease the heat to low, and simmer until the flavors have smoothed and mellowed, at least 10 and up to 30 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last for months.
