• Using Barbecue Basting Brush, brush barbecue sauce on food during the last 10 - 15 minutes of grilling to prevent burning.
• When getting ready to grill, portion out just the amount of sauce you need for brushing on your meat, this way the barbecue basting brush used on uncooked meat will not be in contact with the sauce being passed at the table.

BLUE RIBBON BARBECUE RIBS

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except for ribs in a small saucepan; bring to a boil.
• Place ribs in a greased 13 x 9 baking pan; pour sauce over ribs.
• Bake in a 375 degree oven for 1 1/2 hours or until done.

BLUE RIBBON BARBECUE RIBS

Steps:

• 1. at least a half hour and up to four hours before you plan to cook the ribs, peeled and membrane off the back of the ribs and trim any excess of fat. In a small bowl, mix the rib rub and sugar. Season the ribs liberally on both sides with the rib mixture. Refrigerate.
• 2. Prepare the grill for cooking over indirect heat at 300° using apple or cherry wood for flavor. Place the ribs directly on the cooking grate, meaty side up. Cook for one hour. Flip and cook for another 30 minutes. Flip again and cook until they are nicely caramelized and Golden Brown, about another 30 minutes but may vary depending on your grill. Transfer to a platter.
• 3. Lay out two big double layered sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil, each long enough to wrap whole slab of the ribs. Transfer the ribs to the foil, meaty side up. Drizzle half of the honey on each side. Dust each slab with cayenne pepper. Fold the foil up around the ribs into a packet. Before sealing add half of the Apple juice to the bottom of each packet. Seal the packets bubbly, being careful not to puncture the foil with the rib bones. Return to the grill for 45 minutes to one hour to reach your desired degree of tenderness. The best way to determine the doneness is to open the foil after 45 minutes and feel the texture of the meat. It should be very tender.
• 4. Transfer the foil packets to a platter. Raise the temperature of the grill to 400°. Remove the ribs from the foil and return to the cooking grate. Divide the barbecue sauce equally between two bowls, one for brushing on the ribs as they grill and one for serving at the table. Brush the ribs with the sauce and flip. Brush the other side and cook for five minutes. Flip again, brush, and cook for five minutes. Discard the sauce that you've been brushing with. Remove the ribs to a platter. Serve one half slab to each guest with a second bowl of sauce on the side. Serves four.

SOUTH CAROLINA MUSTARD BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Combine all ingredients except mustard in a food processor or blender. Process until smooth.
• 2. Combine mustard and blended ingredients in a large saucepan over medium heat. Taste and add additional cayenne if desired. Bring to a gentle, steady boil, then reduce to a simmer. Be careful as mustard can splatter when boiling. I use a splatter screen. If you are not canning, ladle sauce into a heat resistant container and refrigerate. Will keep for two weeks.
• 3. Canning Instructions Ladle sauce into sterile, hot pint or 1/2 pint jars leaving 1!4" headspace. Run a small spatula around inside of jars to get rid of air pockets. Carefully wipe jar rims with a damp towel making sure they are completely clean. Place lids and adjust rings to fingertip tightness.
• 4. Process in boiling water bath or steam canner* for 20 minutes (adjust time for altitude if necessary). *The FDA states that steam canners do not reach a high enough temperature for safe canning. I personally believe that for high acid foods such as mustard they are perfectly safe and I've used one for years. However, I'm not recommending it to anyone. Each canner should research the topic and make your own decision.
• 5. Let jars rest on a towel out of direct sunlight for eight hours. Check for seal. Refrigerate or reprocess any unsealed jars. Store sealed jars in a dark cabinet. Will keep for one year.

If mixture is too spicy, add a little water to minimize the heat.
