Remains of my Tumbledown Dan’ bbq Sauce. Here are the ingredients from that. suace

Quickie Recipe:

Brown ribs in canola oil and set aside. Sauté onions and celery in the same pot you used to brown the ribs for five minutes. Add the ginger, peach green tea and the ribs and bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 1 hour. Then add the remains of a fresh made bbq sauce or a little of the Honey Sweet Baby Ray’s Sauce and braise for another hour or so
