Red Sauce
for use with Competition Bar-B-Que Ribs

Jean Heyer
Yield: enough for 2 racks of pork spareribs

2 cups apple cider vinegar
⅔ cup ketchup
½ cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. cayenne

Simmer all ingredients over a medium heat for 30 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Brush on ribs before grilling and baste with sauce as they grill. Serve extra sauce on side.

Note: If you're interested in more of an authentic eastern North Carolina sauce, eliminate the ketchup and sugar from this recipe. Use as a dip rather than sauce.
