Place ribs in large pan. Mix all other ingredients and pour over ribs. Let stand overnight in refrigerator, turning occasionally. Remove ribs from marinade, reserving liquid. Broil or barbecue ribs on mediumlow heat for 1 hour, brushing with marinade. Or, bake in 350F oven for 1 1/2 hours. We happened to be in Washington, D.C., on a business trip, and you would have thought with all the five-star restaurants in the area, the culinary world would have been at out feet. Well, not for us. We had to travel 50 miles to a place we had heard of called Dirty Pete’s Ribs, serving on weekends only. Neither Pete nor his daughter-in-law Carole would reveal the secrets of his sauce, but both agreed that what was required was slo-o-o-o-w cooking. I think the secret to Pete’s sauce was Jack Daniel’s (whether it was in Pete or the sauce, I’m not too sure). Perhaps you’ll have the opportunity to visit. If so, say “Hi” from us, and set a spell at the picnic tables in the back.
