JIM'S "DON'T SPARE THE SPARERIBS" RIBS

Steps:

• At least the night before you make the ribs, if not earlier, combine the BBQ sauce ingredients in a saucepan.
• Simmer over medium low heat for 1/2 an hour.
• Chill overnight (keeps several months in the refrigerator).
• The night before you make the ribs, combine the spice rub ingredients in a bowl, and mix together well.
• Pat about 1/3 of the total spice rub on the top and bottom of the rib slabs.
• Allow to sit, refrigerated, overnight.
• The next day, about 5 hours before dinner, take the ribs out of the fridge, sprinkle top and bottom with about half of the remaining spice rub.
• Let sit at room temperature for 45 minutes.
• Take BBQ sauce out of refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature.
• Heat oven to 200- 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
• After the ribs sit at room temperature, put them in the oven on a large sheet tray, or indeed several large sheet trays if needed.
• Bake 4 hours.
• If the ribs start to look dry, baste them with a little beer.
• About halfway through cooking time, sprinkle ribs with the rest of the spice rub.
• about 45 minutes before ribs are done, brush with a fairly liberal amount of the BBQ sauce.
• Once ribs are done, baste them with more sauce, if you like.
• Let ribs sit 10 minutes before cutting into individual ribs, or 1/2 slabs, as I prefer.
• Serve with plenty of extra sauce on the side, and plenty of napkins.
