6 pounds pork spareribs , cut into serving size pieces
2 cans (8 ounces each) tomato sauce
1 cup dark rum
1 cup honey
1 cup red wine vinegar
1 small onion , finely chopped
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 garlic cloves , minced
1/2 teaspoon salt

2 . Meanwhile , in a large saucepan , combine the remaining ingredients . Bring to a boil . Reduce heat ; simmer uncovered , for 15 to 20 minutes or until slightly thickened .

3 . Drain ribs and discard cooking liquid . Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil ; using long-handled tongs , lightly coat the broiler grill rack . Brush half of the sauce over the ribs . Broil the ribs cover under medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes or browned , turning and basting occasionally with remaining sauce .

This is not your common barbecue sauce on these ribs . The tomato sauce is sweetened with honey and flavored with rum . Everyone will love it . You can make this dish a day ahead and reheat it .

This recipe is also good with the small ribs , you can put them in a slow cooker and serve them as an appetizer .
