• Bake for 2 1/2 hours.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
• Cook and stir the onions in oil for 5 minutes.
• Stir in water, tomato paste, vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce.
• Season with 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, liquid smoke, whiskey, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dark molasses, and 1/2 tablespoon ground chili pepper.
• Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat.
• Simmer for 1 1/4 hours, uncovered, or until sauce thickens.
• Remove from heat, and set sauce aside.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
• Remove the ribs from the oven, and let stand 10 minutes.

• Grill the ribs for 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
• Brush sauce on the ribs while they're grilling, just before you serve them (adding it too early will burn it).

• My Note: I used Jameson's Irish Whiskey. This sauce is awesome! We'll use it again and again. I followed those cooking instructions and used the dry rub from that recipe, as well. I used this sauce at the end where it calls for using your "favorite bbq sauce." Hands-down, this is our favorite sauce recipe. Can't wait to try it on my grilled whole chicken breasts! Update 2/4/05 I always double the recipe. One new tip: I use a mini food processor to mince the onions, but you still get small pieces in the sauce. It's great that way, but this time, after fully cooking the sauce, I let it cool and blended it in a regular blender. Awesome smooth texture, terrific flavor! Now we have two options.
