HOLY CAYANNE! I totally dislike spicy anything and the sauce almost ruined my dinner! My husband helped me die down the spice by basting with honey after the second basting. Turned out so delicious! Next time I'll cut the cayanne down by more than half if any at all.

Thank you for such a great home made bbq sauce recipe. I did as one other review suggested and heated it through on top of the stove and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. As I read other reviews, I adjusted my cooking time. I seared the ribs in the oven on 425 degreees for 30 minutes. Removed them from the oven, smothered some of the bbq sauce on them and returned them to a 325 degree oven and cooked them for an additional 2-1/2 hours, brushing them with bbq sauce every 30 minutes. The last 30 minutes, I added about 1/4 cup of water, covered with foil and let them steam.....yum, yum., yum!!!! My husband thought they were the best ribs ever, esecially for being cooked in the oven!!!
