Mom's BBQ Sauce (For Grilled Ribs)
"I thought I had lost this! I loved the smell of this cooking on the stove. It brings back memories of my parents and their friends making this when we spent summers in Long Beach Island, NJ. You can adjust for the amount of sauce you need. I just adjusted to make 2-3 cups for 2 packages of ribs (about 4-5 lbs.) and I used Splenda brown sugar for my husband."

This is a great recipe. I used chipotle chiles instead of mustard, and then added honey to sweeten it a little more, and it was great - first sweet, then spicy! I also cut it down to one-sixth, which was enough for a family of four. -
This is a sweet sauce with a little bite from the vinegar and mustard that flavors it well. We loved it on our ribs on the grill. I added the prepared sauce half way through cooking, then again about 10 minutes before taking off the grill and we used some of the sauce to dip our ribs in while eating too. Very tasty and a sauce I will be making again, as we really enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing your mom's recipe with us Oolala! Made for My-3-Chefs 2008

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
