Bodacious Texas Ribs ~ 4 Texas Sized Servings
By: Peter Halferty, Texas

Ingredients:
¾ Cup Balsamic Vinegar
¾ Cup Raspberry Vinegar
1 Tablespoon whole Pickling Spice Mix
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
½ Cup Chopped sweet Onion
4 Cloves Garlic, minced
1 Cup Ketchup
½ Cup strong Starbucks French Roast Coffee
⅓ Cup Dark unsulfured Molasses
2-3 Tablespoons New Mexico Chile Powder, or to taste
⅓ Cup Packed Dark Brown Sugar, or brown Sugar Splenda
¼ Cup Tomato Paste
4 Pounds Pork Spareribs
12 Ounce Beer

Directions:
In a small pan, combine the vinegars and pickling spies.  Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium and continue boiling the mixture, uncovered until it reduces to ¾ Cup (about 8-10 minutes).  Strain through a sieve and discard the spice mix; reserve. Heat the oil in a sauté pan until hot over medium-high heat.  Sauté the onion until softened, stirring frequently.  Stir in the garlic and cook 2-3 minutes more.  Add the vinegar and all remaining sauce ingredients (not the beer) and stir well.  Simmer the sauce over low heat for 10 minutes; remove from the heat and cool.  Marinate the spareribs in 1 Cup of the sauce, coating both sides well, covered in the refrigerator at least 4 hours or overnight.  (I use a large closeable freezer bag, and turn it over several times).  Heat the oven to 325° F.  Put the marinated ribs on a rack in a 9 x 12-inch baking pan and pour the beer into the pan.  Cover everything with heavy foil and bake the ribs for 1 ½ hours.  Remove the pan from the oven and raise the temperature to 375° F.  Baste the ribs with additional sauce, on both sides and bake them uncovered for an additional 25-30 minutes more, basting frequently, as desired, until the ribs are tender and browned.  Serve with a fruit salad or slaw, garlic mashed potatoes and a steamed veggie.
