BBQ Sauce

Season ribs with salt and pepper; place on baking sheet - 350* F. (covered tightly wit foil!) Bake a good 1 ¼ - 1 ½ hours until done. Cool. Using a sharp knife - cut out every other bone which will give you meat on both sides of the bone. Cover with foil and refrigerate.

½ c. Dijon-style mustard
½ c. Southern Comfort - or a flavored brandy to compliment the preserves
½ c. fresh lemon juice
Tabasco or hot pepper sauce to taste
