1 3/4 cups of white vinegar 2 tablespoons of hot pepper sauce

2 tablespoons of sugar 1 tablespoon of salt

1 tablespoon of fresh ground black pepper

Combine salt, sugar, cumin, pepper, chili powder and paprika to make barbeque rub. Rub ribs thoroughly

with this mixture. Place ribs on baking sheets and cook in 180 degree oven for 3 hours. Do

not turn as slow cooking infuses the spices.

Remove from oven. (The ribs may now be covered and refrigerated up to 2 days before grilling)

Use very low charcoal fire with rack set as high as possible. Grill ribs 5 minutes to 30 minutes per

side, depending on heat and temperature of ribs. Ribs should have light outer crust and be heated

throughout.

If you prefer juicy ribs, coat with basting sauce just before removing from grill. Otherwise serve dry

with sauce on side. Remove ribs from grill, cut in between bones and serve.

but not pureed. Pour the mixture in a bowl and add the steamed

onion and cornstarch, blending well.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Spray a large skillet with olive

oil cooking spray and place it over medium−low heat. Measure a

1/2 cup of the patty mixture at a time into the pan and shape

with a spoon into a 3" round patty that is about 1/2" thick.

Cook for two to four minutes per side or until light brown on

the surface. When all of the patties have been browned, arrange
