These ribs. Let me tell you… they fall of the bone and that barbecue sauce I could put on just about anything.
I’ve made these ribs a few times in the past few years and every time they’ve been demolished.
They are perfect to bring for watching a football game or any sporting event really.
My family has gotten to the point where they’re requesting them for the Masters or Wimbledon… not joking either.
I’ll take any excuse to make them.
Making your own barbecue sauce makes it even better.
This maple brown sugar barbecue sauce is sweet, but has a kick from the layers of chili sauce and powder as well as the vinegar.
Be sure to save some of the barbecue sauce for yourself to dip the ribs in once they’re done.
If you’re looking for another rib dish to try, why not try these Guinness BBQ Ribs!
If you like a little spice, add in more sriracha to give it a kick!
This sauce would also be great on pulled pork or shredded chicken.
Here’s some great turkey meatballs that you can try it out on or even some slow cooker pulled pork.

What size can of tomatoe sauce?
I think normally tomato sauce cans are 15 to 16 fl. oz…I had a 24 oz bottle and used a little more than 1/2 and the sauce turned out great.
I’m almost positive I’ve been using the 8 oz cans. Standards in the kitchen are tomato paste- 6 oz cans, tomato sauce – 8 oz cans, and then stewed and diced cans at 15 oz. The sizes vary outside of the standard, and you can get up to 28 ounce cans of the later two. I’m making this for the third time this weekend.
You can absolutely adjust it to taste. The 8 oz cans are less than a dollar. Grab two, try one, and if you want to adjust, add the second.
How long can the sauce be stored for?

Do I cover ribs with foil while baking
I do not! I just cover the pan that the ribs are on with foil for easy clean up. Hope you enjoy!
Way to sweet for only 8 ounces tomato sauce. Doubled the amount of tomato sauce and added more Worcestershire, soy, chilli powder, and paprika and that tamed down the sweetness. Very good after that. I also used this sauce on a picnic roast I smoked to make pulled pork.
Is there a way to make the sauce in a microwave and if so how would I do it??
I haven’t tried this, but I’d use a microwave safe bowl, add all of the ingredients and make sure it’s well stirred, then using 30 second increments, continue to stir and repeat until the sugar is melted.
