- THE DAY BEFORE GRILLING THE RIBS, put the sugar and vinegar in a pot large enough to hold the ribs and place over medium heat on top of the stove.
- Cook until the vinegar reduces and forms a syrup with the sugar, about 8 minutes.
- Watch carefully as the syrup will suddenly darken in color.
- Immediately add broth, water, catsup, tomato paste, mustard, Worcestershire, cloves, chili powder and pepper and bring to a boil.
- Add the ribs and cook 20 minutes.
- (for chicken, cook for 10 minutes)
- Remove from heat, remove the ribs from the liquid and place covered in the refrigerator.
- Cook the liquid over medium heat until it becomes thick and syrupy.
- DAY OF GRILLING, Place the ribs on the grill so they are not directly over the coals or flame and cover the grill so that smoke collects inside.
- If your grill does not have a cover, improvise one out of aluminum foil.
- Cook for 40 minutes, basting with barbecue sauce every 10 minutes.
- When ribs are well heated, remove to a platter and serve.
- * Serve with extra sauce on the side.
