BBQ Ribs, Rub and Sauce


Barbeque Ribs, Rub and SauceNancy Harrison

I have several recipes for BBQ Sauce for ribs which I will include below.
No matter how I prepare the ribs – on the grill, smoker or oven, I use this spice rub from my son David Widlund

You can make any amount using these instructions:

Spice Rub:


2 parts ground mustard
2 parts paprika
1/2 part coarse salt
1 part ground black pepper
1 part brown sugar
To taste: cloves, cayenne, chili powder, cinnamon, etc.

Sweet ‘n’ Spicy BBQ Sauce
1 cup ketchup cup apricot preserve
Mix all ingredients together in a mixing bowl

Sweet Barbecue Sauce
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon molasses

BBQ Sauce
1 ½ c catsup
1 c packed brown sugar
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
½ c warm water
1 TB molasses
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground pepper
½ tsp cinnamon
Mix all ingredients in a small saucepan and heat gently until thick and glossy

Whatever cooking method you use and whichever sauce you prepare, do not add the BBQ sauce until the very end of the cooking and let it cook only 10-15 minutes. Serve extra on the table.
