On Saturday, I used the sauce on several racks of pork ribs I cooked in the Instant Pot (with one can of beer) for 30 minutes with an instant release. I prefer the Costco pre-rubbed/seasoned ribs (bought in packs of two 14-18-inch racks).
I curled the ribs (no sauce yet) into the pot on a silicone sling. I was afraid there were too many ribs, but they cooked beautifully in 30 minutes. They didn't fall off the bone easily, but I planned to finish cooking them under the broiler. I generously doused them with sauce and broiled them until the sauce was deeply colored - maybe 5 minutes. Watch closely, as you don't want it to burn.
SAUCE:
Saute:
- 1 cup (2 cups) chopped onion and 1 clove (2-4 cloves) minced garlic in about 1/4 c. oil until soft and golden.:
Add:
- 1-8 oz can tomato sauce (or 1-15 oz can)
- 1/2 cup water (or 1 cup)
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar (or 1/2 cup)
- 1/4 cup lemon juice (or 1/2 cup)
- 2 T Worcestershire sauce (or 4 T)
- 2 T prepared mustard (or 4 T)
- 1 tsp. celery seed and table salt (or 2 tsp. each)
- 1/4 tsp .pepper (or 1/2 tsp.)
Simmer for 15 minutes or longer but do not burn!
You can multiply the ingredients by 2 (as above) or 4 or more and can this hot sauce in pint jars for 15 minutes. It's great to have on hand.
