NANA'S CHILI

Steps:

• 1. Brown ground beef. Drain fat and set aside. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in heavy pot over medium high heat, adding onions when hot. Saute for 4-5 minutes. Add bell pepper and garlic. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes more. Add black pepper, ground cumin, ground chipotle pepper, crushed red peppers and chili powder, while continually stirring until spices begin to stick to bottom of pot and brown (30-45 seconds). Quickly add 3 cups of hot water. Add tomato puree, diced tomatoes and the juice they were packed in. Add kidney beans and salt. Add the ground beef. Stir when chili begins to boil. Reduce heat to low and cover. Ideally the chili should be simmered 3 hours to let all the flavors blend together. Stir about every 15 minutes. If you don't have 3 hours, use less chipotle and crushed red peppers.

Steps:

• Lay out a generous amount of heavy foil on a large rimmed baking sheet. Lay one rack of ribs on the foil and rub generously with Applewood rub. You can be generous. I used 2-3 tablespoons per rack, but it is really up to you.
• Wrap the foil around the ribs so that it is completely covered.
• Repeat with the other rack of ribs.
• Let the ribs sit for 30 minutes. Or overnight. Or no time at all, if you're in a hurry.
• Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F.
• Put the ribs in the oven and roast for about 3 hours. Take the ribs out when they are fork-tender.

NANA KING'S SWEET CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes with next 7 ingedients in a large sauce pot. Tie pickling spices and mustard seed in a cheesecloth bag and add to pot. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring to prevent scorching. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until mixture thickens and becomes slightly syrupy. Stir frequently to prevent mixture from sticking to bottom of pot.
• When sauce reaches desired thickness, discard spice bag and ladle hot sauce into 1-pint jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Process jars according to directions or let cool completely and refrigerate for up to 3 months.
