MOM'S BBQ SAUCE (FOR GRILLED RIBS)
I thought I had lost this! I loved the smell of this cooking on the stove. It brings back memories of my parents and their friends making this when we spent summers in Long Beach Island, NJ. You can adjust for the amount of sauce you need. I just adjusted to make 2-3 cups for 2 packages of ribs (about 4-5 lbs.) and I used Splenda brown sugar for my husband.

Tips:
- Choose the right tomatoes: Ripe, flavorful tomatoes are essential for a great barbecue sauce. Look for Roma or San Marzano tomatoes, which have a low water content and a high concentration of flavor.
- Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes before blending them adds a smoky, caramelized flavor to the sauce. You can roast the tomatoes in the oven or on the grill.
- Use a variety of spices: Barbecue sauce is all about the spices. Experiment with different combinations of spices to find a flavor profile that you love. Some popular spices for barbecue sauce include chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper.
- Add a touch of sweetness: A little bit of sweetness helps to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes and the spices. You can add sweetness to your barbecue sauce with brown sugar, honey, or molasses.
- Let the sauce simmer: Simmering the sauce allows the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the sauce, the better it will taste.
