1. Cook the onion in 2 tbsp oil in a large pan until very soft, about 10 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients (except the pork) and bring to the boil. Simmer for 5 minutes, until the alcohol has cooked off. Put in a food processor and whizz until smooth. Set aside half of the sauce.
2. Season the ribs. Barbecue over medium-hot coals for 10 minutes each side. If the ribs have a reasonable amount of fat, push the coals to the side of the barbecue as dripping fat will cause flaming. The ribs may take longer to cook if you do this as the heat is indirect. Brush the ribs with some of the sauce then turn and barbecue for 5 minutes, repeat about 3-4 times until the ribs are tender and cooked through, with a sticky coating.
3. Serve with the reserved sauce.

Know-how

A big slug of bourbon whiskey adds a kick to basting sauces for spare ribs. They're best eaten using your fingers, so have plenty of napkins handy.

  absolutely delicious they were so juicy although there was way too much sauce. Will definitely make again, some of my guests thought it was a bit sweet, might make with slightly less sugar next time.....a real hit!
