List of Ingredients

SOAKING MIXTURE
2 cup Water
1 cup White vinegar
2 tbl Salt

SAUCE
2 tbl Vegetable oil
1 cup Chopped onions
3/4 cup Chopped green pepper
3/4 cup Minced celery including celery leaves
1 tbl Chopped garlic
2 cup Chopped drained canned tomatoes
1/3 cup Red wine vinegar
1/4 cup Unsulfered molasses
2 Lemon wedges (each 1/8 of the whole lemon)
1/2 tsp Ground cloves
1/2 tsp Ground allspice
2 tbl Tomato paste
1 tbl Dry mustard
1 tsp Salt


Recipe

* Combine the soaking mixture ingredients and soak the ribs for 2 to 4 hours.

* Heat the oil in a heavy 10 inch skillet, and over low heat saute' the onions, green pepper, celery and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes.

* Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. The sauce should be thick. Discard the lemon wedges and put the sauce quickly through a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Don't puree the sauce; it should retain a good deal of texture. The blender will homogenize it too much. A good alternative to a food processor is a food mill.

* Grill the ribs, basting and turning every 15-20 minutes. Serve the remaining sauce, heated, with the ribs.
