BBQ Ribs #2 - Shelle's BBQ Sauce

This is a fantastic sauce... Yes, it has a little bit of a shortcut, but sue me. It was what my grandmother did, mom did and now I do! *With a couple little "Shelle" changes... :)

This BBQ is great with anything... it compliments the dry rub (pork and beef) nicely without taking away from those spices.

Usually I would finish my ribs off on my gas grill, but it was raining the day I cooked them, so I had to finish in the oven. Ok, so I didn't HAVE TO, but I didn't wish to be soaked outside standing for a wee bit of flavor when the spices and sauce were flavorful enough!!

Shelle's Special BBQ Sauce
1/3 Cup Chopped Onion (chop very small.. smaller than DNA kinda small)
1 Clove Garlic, very finely minced
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
3/4 Cup Bottled Chili Sauce
1/2 Cup Beer (Samuel Adams Summer Ale is my choice, adds a citrus flavor)
1/4 Cup of Honey
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
2 Tablespoons Light Brown Sugar
1 Tablespoon Yellow Mustard

In a medium saucepan saute onion and garlic in olive oil until the onion is tender. Stir in chili sauce, beer, honey, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and mustard. Bring mixture to a boil, stir gently to prevent burning. Reduce heat, and simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Once it is cooled you can keep in your fridge for several weeks... if it lasts that long! :D
