Burnt Tongue Bbq Sauce

• 2 cups ketchup
• 2 cups distilled white vinegar
• 1 cup dark corn syrup
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 1 tablespoon red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 4 teaspoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons liquid smoke
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 1/2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce (Tabasco sauce)
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1. Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan.
2. Using a wire whisk, mix ingredients until smooth.
3. Bring bbq sauce to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer the sauce to desired thickness (I simmer mine for about an hour).
4. Remove sauce from heat when thickened and pour into a one quart jar.
5. This recipe will generously coat 4 lbs of ribs, with sauce left over for dipping.
6. For bbq pork spareribs, cut ribs in 3-6 rib sections.
7. Coat rib sections generously with bbq sauce and wrap in tinfoil.
8. If you have time, I suggest you marinate these ribs in the refrigerator for 24-36 hours.
9. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
10. Cook ribs wrapped in foil for 2-3 hours at 300 degrees, ribs are ready when the meat has shrunk and about 1/2 inch of the bone is sticking out.
11. Remove ribs from tinfoil and coat generously with bbq sauce.
12. Bbq ribs for 2-3 minutes per side, or until sauce starts to char a little (if you like your sauce burnt more just bbq longer).
