  Ingredient - Preparation Method:
     
  BRAISING LIQUID AND RIBS  
  4 quarts homemade beef stock -- or broth  
  3/4   cup red wine vinegar  
  1      tablespoon paprika  
  1      tablespoon cayenne pepper  
  1   1/2 tablespoons ground cumin  
  3      tablespoons Tabasco sauce  
  1   1/4 tablespoons garlic powder
  1      tablespoon ground ginger  
  1      cup tomato paste  
  1/4 cup honey  
  1      tablespoon salt  
  4 - 6 slabs baby back ribs or spareribs  
  -- (about 1-1/4 pounds each)  
  METHOD: RIBS      
  1. Combine all the braising liquid ingredients   
  in a large pot. Stir well, and bring to a   
  simmer over medium heat.  
  2. Add the ribs, and simmer until tender but not  
  falling apart, about 1 hour and 30 minutes.   
  When done, carefully transfer the ribs to a baking sheet.  
  3. Combine all the spice mixture ingredients in a   
  medium-size bowl, and stir to form a paste. 
  (Add more beer if it is too dry.)  
  4. Rub the paste over all surfaces of the ribs. Wrap each slab  
  in aluminum foil, dull side out, and refrigerate until ready   
  to cook. (These can be prepared up to 4 days in advance.)  
  5. Preheat the oven to 400F, and prepare hot coals for grilling.   
  Place the rack 3 to 4 inches from the heat.  
  6. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and arrange the ribs  
  on the foil. Coat the ribs with 2 cups of the barbecue sauce, and  
  bake on the center rack of the oven for 10 minutes.  
  7. Transfer the ribs to the grill, and cook long enough to char.   
  Serve immediately, with the remaining 1 cup   
  barbecue sauce on the side.
