About this recipe
Blending barbecue sauce with jalapeño ketchup gives you a spicy rib sauce without a long ingredient list. Covering the ribs keeps them moist; the last half hour uncovered sets the glaze.
This is a favorite from the SpiceItUp! recipe collection. See the original spicy barbecue ribs on spiceitup.com.
