The sauce for these ribs is simular to Carolina BBQ. I've added a California style twist to it by adding chiles and mexican hot sauce. The vinegar in the sauce really helps to break down the connective tissue in the meat, making these ribs very tender.

Wife and Mom of 4 with a bun in the oven. (Due in December) I went to Culinary School in Aptos, California and have worked in several kitchens and for some of the most amazing chefs. I am no chef, but try to remember the things I was taught like to respect the food. Since we are a big familia and we often have guests I have to cook on a budget and we don't eat out much. I hope you try my recipes and post any comments you have including anything you might have done different."to cook is a way to say I LOVE YOU""A cocinar es una forma de decir TE AMO"
