Category: Ribs

Dry Rub:
10 tbsp black pepper and paprika
5 tbsp chili powder, cayenne pepper and garlic powder
3 tbsp celery salt
1 tbsp dry mustard

Finish Sauce:
32 oz ketchup
8 oz soy sauce
4 oz Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp garlic powder
8 oz apple cider vinegar
4 oz apple juice
1 tbsp white pepper or to taste
Mix dry rub ingredients. Rub into pork ribs. Seal and Put rubbed ribs into the refrigerator for 4 to 10 hours before cooking.

Bring sauce ingredients to a boil. Then add a finely grated onion, 1 grated medium Golden Delicious apple and 1/4 grated small bell pepper. Cook until desired thickness. Cook prepared ribs for about 5 1/2 to 7 hours over charcoal kept at 180 to 200 degrees. Baste occasionally with warm apple juice.

Use soaked applewood chips in the fire to create a sweet flavor. About 30 minutes before serving, brush ribs with finish sauce. Right before serving, sprinkle on dry rub. Serve sauce on the side. TIP: Don't rush the cooking process.
