Who knew that celery seeds would be such a key ingredient in this recipe? It’s been prepared this way in my family for over 25 years, and gets hauled out now whenever the craving hits. I know there are regional specialty recipes for rubs, marinades, etc. but this is the only way I know how to make it. I’ll continue to appreciate variations during my travels!
3 lbs ribs (or more, and then increase sauce!)
Sauce: 2 tbsp butter or margarine, 1 cup
ketchup, 2/3 cup chili sauce, 4 tbsp brown sugar, 4 tbsp chopped onion, 2 tbsp
mustard, 2 tbsp Worcester sauce, 1 tsp celery seeds, ¼ tsp salt, hot sauce to
taste, 2-3 thin lemon slices.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees
Boil water in large pot deep enough to cover
ribs, boil ribs for 1 hour. If you prepare this recipe using a slow cooker, skip
the boiling step and place ribs into the crock pot uncooked.
Fry onion and lemon slices in butter, add
remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Place ribs in baking dish, and pour
sauce over ribs. Bake 20 minutes. If you are running short on time and using a
crock pot, sauce ingredients may be placed unheated into the crock pot over the
ribs. I've left everything in the slow cooker for 8-10 hours on low with great results.
What is your favorite BBQ sauce or rib preparation method?
Here is one of my trusty "helpers" while I organized recipes!
