2 Teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Garlic powder

Directions

1
In a medium saucepan, combine ketchup, vinegar, dark corn syrup, sugar, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and Tabasco sauce.
2
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and stir occasionally until the mixture comes to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Pat 4 pounds of baby back pork ribs dry and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
6
Brush a thin layer of the prepared BBQ sauce onto the ribs, covering both the front and back.

Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil to lock in moisture and heat.

Carefully remove the ribs from the foil, discarding any excess liquid.

Note

Storage: Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The sauce may thicken further when chilled; stir before using.

Substitutions: Brown sugar or honey can be used in place of dark corn syrup for a different flavor profile. Apple cider vinegar works well if you prefer a fruitier tang.

Tip: For extra smoky flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or liquid smoke to the sauce while simmering.

Variation: This sauce is also excellent for chicken thighs, pulled pork sandwiches, or as a dipping sauce for baked potatoes.
