Ribs With Sweet Cola Barbecue Sauce

Ingredients Sweet Cola Barbecue Sauce: 1 Tbs vegetable oil 1 medium onion, finely chopped 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped 2 cups ketchup 1 can cola 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar 2 Tbs brown sugar 1/2 Tbs fresh ground black pepper 1/2 Tbs onion powder 1/2 Tbs ground mustard 1/2 Tbs lemon juice 1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce Dry Rub: 2 Tbs salt 2 Tbs brown sugar 2 tsp garlic powder 2 tsp onion powder 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp chili powder 1 tsp black pepper 2 racks pork spare ribs (about 3 pound each) Directions For the sauce: In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, add oil. Once heated, add the onion and garlic and saute until tender. Add all the remaining sauce ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook uncovered, stirring frequently, for 1 hour 15 minutes. For the dry rub: Whisk all dry ingredients together in a small bowl. This can be stored up to 6 months in an airtight container. For the ribs: Rinse and dry ribs. Place on a clean cutting board, pull off the membrane and trim the ribs of excess fat. Liberally season both sides of the ribs with rub. Wrap ribs with plastic wrap and refrigerate 4 to 12 hours so flavors can permeate. Preheat grill to 250°F using hickory and charcoal. Set up your grill for indirect heat. Place ribs, meatier side down, on the grill away from the coals. Close grill cover. Cook the pork ribs for 1 hour 15 minutes; flipping several times for even cooking. Coat ribs with Sweet Cola Barbecue Sauce and cook for another 20 minutes, but reserve some of the sauce for dipping when the ribs are served.
