"SECRET'S IN THE SAUCE" BBQ RIBS

Steps:

• Cut ribs into serving-size pieces; sprinkle with pepper. Place in a 5- or 6-qt. slow cooker. Combine the remaining ingredients; pour over ribs. Cook, covered, on low until meat is tender, 6-8 hours. Serve with sauce.

WORLD FAMOUS RENDEZVOUS DRY BBQ RIBS

Steps:

• Whisk together the vinegar, water and dry seasoning to make a basting sauce (seasoning rub posted in my other recipes).
• Set grill rack to 18 inches above the coals.
• Placing ribs curls/bones pointing down, cook ribs over direct heat at about 325F to 350F until the underside is golden (about 30 minutes), basting several times while cooking.
• Flip the ribs, and continue cooking, and basting, until golden brown (about another 30 minutes).
• Meat is done when it is so hot it burns your fingers to touch.
• Do a final baste, sprinkle with some more seasoning, and serve.

RENDEZVOUS RIBS

Steps:

• Mix together the vinegar, BBQ sauce, BBQ seasoning and 7 ounces water.
• Place the ribs bone-side down over low heat on a charcoal grill, keeping the grill at least 5 inches above the coals, or in a smoker over low heat.
• Cook the ribs until golden brown, and then turn over and cook the meat side until done and the interior temperature is 160 degrees F, about 1 hour 30 minutes, basting with the BBQ sauce mixture throughout to keep the ribs moist and the flame down. Another way to tell if they are done is to hold the ribs at one end and see if the meat starts to separate from the bone.
• Just prior to serving, partially cut the ribs along the bone so the meat is on one side only.
• After cutting the ribs, baste again with the BBQ mixture, and sprinkle some more BBQ seasoning over the ribs and serve. If you want to add more BBQ sauce, mix more into the vinegar and BBQ sauce mixture and serve on the side.

THE RENDEZVOUS-STYLE RUB FOR RIBS

Steps:

• Mix all together.
• For my family, I whirl it in a coffee grinder for a second, as they object to the "whole" seeds.
• This makes about two cups--enough for about 12 pounds of ribs. (It is not meant to be a thick rub.).
• Add brown sugar if want a sweeter rub.
