My sister-in-law is a great cook! When I tasted her barbeque ribs, I had to have her recipe, especially since I was a beginner in the kitchen! My husband will tell you about my lack of experience, especially when preparing fresh green beans! We still laugh about it 50+ years later – I promise I know better now!

So, here is a tried and true recipe for Barbeque Sauce! Feel free to add a little more hot pepper sauce if you like a little more heat on your ribs, beef, chicken, or pork! (We love spicy food, so I wasn't stingy with the hot pepper sauce!)

• 1/2 c Salad Oil
• 1/3 c Vinegar
• 1/3 c Worcestershire Sauce
• 2 tsp Dry Mustard
• 1 tsp Salt
• Dash Pepper
• 1/8 tsp Hot Pepper Sauce (or to taste)
• 1/2 c Brown Sugar
• 1 c Catsup
• 2 or 3 Bay leaves

Blend Salad Oil with Vinegar in saucepan. Add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

For Spareribs - Brush with sauce and cook back side about 30 minutes on the lowest rack of broiler.

Also great on Pork Chops, Beef, and Chicken.
