My usual method is to use a spicy semi-hot dry rub and then add some sweet baby Ray’s barbecue sauce at the end. I picked up the baby back ribs to grill this weekend and my wife told me she would prefer sweet and tangy. I’ve never done sweet and tangy so I’m looking for ideas. Any suggestions would be welcomed! | ||

I have a good recipe for homemade sauce, but it is a bit too time consuming to make, so most of the time I use Alpine Touch BBQ sauce. Sweet and tangy as you requested. But, I doubt you could find it there to use today. Prior to both of the above, I liked Famous Dave's Sweet and Zesty sauce. Here's my sauce recipe if you want to give it a go: 3 Tbs butter 1 medium onion finely diced 4 cloves garlic minced 2 Tbs chili powder 1 tsp black pepper 1 tsp salt 2 cups ketchup 1/2 cup yellow mustard 1/8 cup cider vinegar 1/3 cup Worcestershire 1/4 cup lemon juice 1/4 cup Heinz 57 1/4 cup molasses 1/2 cup honey 1 tsp Tabasco 1. Saute onion and garlic in butter. 2. Add dry ingredients and cook around two minutes. 3. Add wet ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes.This message has been edited.

I did a rack of baby back ribs earlier this week. Famous Dave's seasoning and I used Traeger Sugar Lips sauce. Might be the kick you need and it was sweet and tangy. I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not. | |||

A BBQ fanatic friend introduced me to Big Bob Gibson's Red Sauce maybe 20 years ago & I've been using nothing but that ever since. I usually use a rub, then use the sauce for dipping though. https://bigbobgibson.com/championship-red-sauce/ ------------------------------------------------ "It's hard to imagine a more stupid or dangerous way of making decisions, than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."

I see you have Kroger in St. Louis check and see if they carry Montgomery Inn BBQ Sauce. Very sweet with a bit of twang. Best BBQ Sauce there is. Montgomery Inn is a Cincinnati staple Kroger is from Cincy. I am not sure if all Kroger across the country carry it or just regional to Cincy. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have.

slather ribs in brown mustard. mix to taste: brown sugar black pepper cinnamon salt cumin garlic powder lemon or lime powder Put the dry spices on the mustard, and let sit overnight. Smoke until desired internal temp. spray a mix of orange juice, brandy, apple cider vinegar on the ribs every 20-30 minutes. The vinegar will help make the ribs extra tender, the brandy and orange juice for flavor and extra tang/sweet __________________________ More blessed than I deserve. http://davesphotography7055.zenfolio.com/f238091154 | |||

Thank you so much for this recommendation! Ordered a bottle from Amazon and tried it on some pulled pork butt I smoked . To say it’s the best sauce I have ever had would be a gross understatement. My sister in law immediately ordered a three pack of the same. This weekend Smoked some spareribs and after pulling them I coated with the sauce and kept warm in a covered pan in a low temp oven . Everyone raved about them and said the best they ever had. I credit the sauce as they all have had my ribs before and to a person said these were far superior. I now am on a search to find a local distributor. Thanks again!! Ps I think what makes it so good is the worcestershire sauce additive which I would not have thought was a good Taste for pork. | |||

You're quite welcome. I'm glad you like it. I used to buy it by the gallon direct from Gibsons, but I was smoking stuff all the time back then. Since we moved way back in the sticks, and don't have as many get togethers I've cut back on smoking a bit, and now I just get 3 of the smaller bottles at a time. ------------------------------------------------ "It's hard to imagine a more stupid or dangerous way of making decisions, than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."

I never sauce ribs but if you must I would go with a glaze rather than a thick sauce. Tennessee Red by Blues Hog would get you that sweet tangy profile you are looking for. Add it the last twenty to thirty minutes to the ribs to allow it to set up. "Fixed fortifications are monuments to mans stupidity" - George S. Patton | |||

I only use BBQ sauce for dipping, but I guess most people are used to putting sauce on while smoking or grilling. I never liked pork or brisket that way, but that's just me. ------------------------------------------------ "It's hard to imagine a more stupid or dangerous way of making decisions, than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."

Saucing anything is bad enough but saucing a brisket should carry the death penalty! That is just down right disrespectful to the animal!  "Fixed fortifications are monuments to mans stupidity" - George S. Patton | |||
