Tony Roma's Baby Back Ribs


1 cup ketchup
1 cup vinegar
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco pepper sauce



Combine ingredients in saucepan. Heat over high heat until boiling. Reduce heat, simmer 30-40 minutes until thick.

Coat 4 pounds of baby back pork ribs, front and back, with BBQ sauce. Wrap ribs in aluminum foil.

Bake at 300 degrees for 2 - 2 1/2 hours. Remove ribs from foil and smother with more sauce. Grill on hot barbecue for 2-4 minutes per side.

Is this the "original" sauce recipe, or one of the other ones (not the Carolina honey one, I know, but there's other types of sauces there)? Just curious.

Got it from a friend - says it was the original.....tasted it to me!
