I found this sauce in the cooking section of the New York Times and did pork ribs, four with that recipe, and four with my old recipe.
I then modified both recipes to tone the sauce down. To adhere the sauce well to the ribs, use the sauce chilled.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
