Ron Schers Barbecue Sauce Recipes

HOMEMADE BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring, being careful not to burn them. Reduce the heat to low. Add the ketchup, molasses, brown sugar, chipotle peppers, vinegar (or less to taste), Worcestershire sauce and salt and stir. Allow to simmer for 20 minutes. Taste after simmering and add whatever ingredient it needs (more spice, more sugar, etc.).

RON SCHER'S OCEAN RIDGE BARBECUE

Steps:

• Combine the orange or tangerine rind and peppercorns in the container of an electric blender, coffee mill or spice mill. Blend until thoroughly pulverized.
• Add the salt, sugar and paprika, and blend thoroughly. Rub the spareribs with this mixture about six hours before grilling. Let meat stand in a cool place until ready to grill.
• Break the bay leaves lengthwise down the center, and remove and discard the tough, slender stem that runs top to bottom. Crumble the bay leaves and put the pieces into the container of an electric blender, coffee mill or spice mill. Pulverize as finely as possible. Add the peppercorns and blend thoroughly.
• Add the garlic powder, paprika, mustard and salt, if desired, and blend well. Rub the poultry with this mixture about six hours before grilling. Let meat stand in a cool place until ready to grill.
• Put the bones in a kettle and add cold water to cover. Bring to a boil. Drain and run the bones under cold running water until chilled. Drain.
• Return the bones to a clean kettle and add the salt, mustard, garlic powder, bay leaf, chili powder, paprika, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, oil and water. Bring to a boil. Let simmer, uncovered, at least six hours, skimming the surface as necessary.
• Strain the liquid. There should be about three and one-half quarts. If desired, the meat from the bones may be used for barbecued beef sandwiches. Discard the bones.

Stir in the ketchup, 1 cup water, the vinegar, brown sugar, steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce, molasses, mustard, celery seed and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the onions are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in the liquid smoke, if using.
