Atomic Barbeque Sauce

1 onion; chopped
2 cup orange juice
4 cup catsup
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1 1/ c cider vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 tablespoon dry mustard
2 tablespoon crushed red pepper
2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoon tabasco
2 tablespoon tamarind paste, available at indian and at oriental and some grocery stores.
2 tablespoon honey
2 1/2 sticks butter

Add the onion and 1/2 cup of the juice to a blender and puree until smooth. Transfer to a medium-size saucepan. Add the remaining ingredients to the saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. Set aside to cool. Sauce keeps two weeks in fridge.

Bean Dip

18 oz canned refried beans
1/2 cup spicy barbecue sauce
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
dash kosher salt

Place beans in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Stir in remaining ingredients. Serve with tortilla chips.

Pork Spare Ribs

pork rib 5lbs
salt and pepper to taste

Tomato Barbeque Sauce:
1 cup tomato ketchup
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup vinegar

Note: Make more sauce if you need more sauce.
Salt and pepper pork ribs. Barbeque ribs on coals until ready. Then baste with the sauce.
Mix sauce well. Remove ribs from the coals and quickly apply the tomato basting sauce, using a barbeque brush, covering the whole rib on both sides. Return ribs to coals and continue barbequeing each side for two minutes only.
Remove, cut and serve. The tomato barbeque sauce should be applied to the ribs after they have been barbequed to perfection, and each treated side barbequed for only 2 minutes more after applying the tomato basting sauce. This is the secret of perfectly barbequed pork spareribs: if the sauce is applied whilst the meat is still raw, or if a side is facing the coals for more than 2 minutes after brushing on the tomato basting sauce, the tomato in the sauce tends to turn to charcoal.

Kahlua Baked Beans

1 lb dried navy beans, picked over, rinsed
1/2 lb bacon slices, cut in pieces using scissors
2 cup onion; finely chopped
1 12-oz bottle chili sauce
1/2 cup tomato-based barbeque sauce, preferably smoked
1/2 cup kahlua
1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
1/4 cup dijon mustard
1/4 cup unsulfered molasses
2 tablespoon thick, spicy steak sauce, such as heinz 57
2 tablespoon tabasco sauce
1 teaspoon salt

Soak the beans in lots of water to cover overnight. Drain.
In a large pot, cover beans generously with fresh cold water. Set the pot over medium heat and bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring once or twice, for 1 hour or more, until the beans are very soft but still holding their shape. (The beans should not be salted at the initial cooking stage, as salt will toughen the beans.) Drain, reserving 1 1/2 cups of the bean cooking liquid.
Cook the bacon in a large skillet until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat. Add the onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Combine the beans with 1 1/2 cups cooking liquid, bacon, onions, chili sauce, barbeque sauce, Kahlua, coffee, mustard, molasses, steak sauce, Tabasco and salt. Transfer to a heavy 5 quart nonreactive casserole or Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 30 minutes.

Note: The beans can be cooled, covered and refrigerated; reheat the next day on a medium-low burner.

Thread meat on skewers and grill, turing several times, four to six inches above ashed coals until meat is browned outside and tender, pink and juicy inside, about 10 minutes.
