I generally make my sauce from whatever I can lay my hands on in the kitchen but the basic ingredients generally include Ketchup, lemon zest, lemon juice, black treacle, onion, garlic, Worcester Sauce, liquid smoke etc. When digging through the spices I spotted caraway seeds. (caraway seed cake mmmmmm!)! Thought I would throw a few seeds in after bashing them with a pestle and mortar. I was well impressed.
If you have never tasted caraway seeds, the best description I can give is "slightly aniseed-ish" though I'm sure there are better descriptions. You might like to give it a try.
I now have a smoker so things will be different now but how I used my sauce was to boil all the ingreedients up, put some ribs in a slow cooker (in the kitchen). Cover the ribs with the sauce and add water until covered. Slow cook the ribs for 4 hours or so. Take the ribs out and place on an oven dish. Reduce the sauce to a thick sauce, pour over the ribs and place in a hot oven for 20 mins or so. As I said, I now have a smoker so things will be different from here on but if you are stuck the above could help you with your withdrawal symptoms.
Happy Q-ing everyone.
