Ingredients

1-1/3 cups packed brown sugar

2 teaspoons each garlic powder, onion powder and smoked paprika

1-1/4 teaspoons each ground cumin, coarsely ground pepper and cayenne pepper

12 bone-in country-style pork ribs (about 7 pounds)

SAUCE:

2 tablespoons canola oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 cup tomato sauce

1/3 cup dark brown sugar

1/4 cup ketchup

1/4 cup molasses

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground mustard

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

1 In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and seasonings; sprinkle over ribs. Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hour.

2 For sauce, in a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender, 5-6 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.

3 Wrap ribs in a large piece of heavy-duty foil; seal edges of foil. Grill, covered, over indirect medium heat until ribs are tender, 1-1/4 to 1-3/4 hours.

4 Carefully remove ribs from foil. Place ribs over direct medium heat; baste with some of the sauce. Grill, covered, until browned, 8-10 minutes, turning and basting occasionally with remaining sauce.
