How to Grill Spareribs and a Great Basting Sauce Recipe

Ingredients:

Loin spareribs with a generous amount of meat
Sweet and Sour basting sauce

Spareribs should be grilled long and slowly, so cook over a low heat when starting to grill. Meanwhile, prepare the sweet and sour basting sauce.

Sweet and Sour Basting Sauce

2 tbsp cooking oil
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp green pepper, minced
1 clove garlic, peeled
1/2 cup thawed, frozen pineapple juice concentrate
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup wine vinegar
1 tsp soy sauce

Put oil and next 3 ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook and stir 5 minutes. Discard garlic. Add pineapple juice and remaining ingredients. Cook and stir 5 minutes longer. Use sauce warm. Makes about 1 1/2 cups of sauce.

Grilling the Spareribs

Lay ribs on the grill and cook slowly over low heat, about 4 inches from heat. Baste spareribs with Sweet and Sour Basting Sauce every 2 to 3 minutes and turn or they will dry out and burn. BBQ ribs until well done, or about 1 hour. Meat will shrink from the ends of bones when done. To serve ribs, slice them apart and serve with additional basting sauce or your favorite BBQ sauce.
