Description

This robust grilled pork sauce combines the sharp acidity of cider vinegar with the deep sweetness of molasses and the savory complexity of A-1 and Open Pit sauces. It is designed to coat tender, hickory-smoked country ribs, creating a sticky, flavorful glaze that balances heat and sweetness. The sauce reduces slightly during reheating, allowing it to cling to the meat for a rich, home-style barbecue experience. Perfect for summer grilling sessions or slow-cooked pork dishes, this recipe offers a customizable flavor profile that enhances the natural smokiness of the pork. It is an excellent accompaniment to cornbread and coleslaw, making it a crowd-pleasing centerpiece for casual gatherings and family dinners.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Trim excess fat from the country ribs and cut them into even-sized portions to ensure uniform cooking.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium heat and soak hickory chips in water for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Place the soaked hickory chips on the hot coals or charcoal grate to generate smoke.
  4. Arrange the ribs on the grill grate, positioning them a few inches above the heat source.
  5. Grill the ribs for approximately 1 to 1.5 hours, turning them frequently to prevent burning and ensure even browning.
  6. Monitor the internal temperature; remove ribs when they reach a safe internal temperature (145&# 194;°F) and have a nice brown crust.
  7. While the ribs cook, combine the Open Pit Sauce, A-1 Sauce, and molasses in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  8. Bring the sauce mixture to a slow boil, stirring constantly until the molasses is fully dissolved and the sauce is smooth.
  9. Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly.
  10. Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes, then toss them in the warm sauce to coat evenly.
  11. Serve the sauced ribs immediately with any remaining sauce on the side.
