Sticky Rib Sauce

This one comes from a BBQ Cook Book with a modification or two

Firstly rub the ribs with the following dry rub
1 Tablespoon of brown sugar
1 Tablespoon of salt
1 teaspoon of dried chilli or chilli powder (check the strength first)
1 tablespoon of smoked paprika like Hungarian paprika
1 teaspoon of cracked pepper
1 tablespoon of onion flakes
1 tablespoon of garlic flakes.
You could use fresh chillis, oinions and garlic if you like but rub them on the meat first and then the dry rub on top.

Leave to marinate for a few hours or overnight if possible

Cook the ribs in you favourite way, in the oven, in a kettle bbq or very slowly on direct heat.

When the ribs are nearly cooked, make the sweet sauce. In a saucepan, combine the following:
1 cup of brown sugar
250ml of sweet vinegar like malt
one stick of cinnamon
1 small dried chilli if the rub isn't hot enough
250ml tomato sauce
100 ml of rum
Cook until the sauce is thick. Take the ribs from the oven and cut them in pairs. Either brush the sauce generously with the sauce, or better still, place the ribs in the saucepan and smother them completely whilst they are on the heat. Serve with lots of wet towels and a glass of ice cold rum!
