COLA GLAZED RIBS

Yield: Serves 4.

COLA GLAZED RIBS
Ingredients
- 8 cups cola
- 4 lb (2 kg) pork back ribs
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 tsp green pepper sauce
- 1/4 tsp dry mustard
Directions
- To prepare cola syrup, bring cola to a boil in a non-reactive saucepan; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until cola is syrupy and reduced to 2 cups. Cool completely. Reserve 1/2 cup of cola syrup for sauce.
- Place ribs in a shallow non-reactive baking dish; pour remaining cola syrup over ribs. Cover and refrigerate, turning ribs occasionally, for 24 hours.
- To prepare sauce, combine reserved cola syrup with all remaining ingredients.
- Preheat natural gas barbecue on low heat for 10 - 15 minutes.
- Remove ribs from cola syrup; discard cola syrup.
- Grill ribs over low heat on natural gas barbecue until meat is almost tender, about 1 hour.
- Brush sauce over ribs. Continue grilling until meat is tender, turning and basting with sauce, about 10 minutes.
