No matter what Pepsi cans look like, people still enjoy that fizzy, sweet flavor. And these Barbecue Pork Ribs with Pepsi Sauce are certainly no exception. This is a great recipe for a family get-together & perfect for Super Bowl time. Enjoy!
Ingredients:Â
- 4-6 lbs. pork ribs
- 6-8 cups Pepsi
- 1Â cup catsup
- 1/2 – 3/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp. oil
- 1 small onion, sliced
- Â 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 1 tbsp. sesame oil
- 1 tbsp. soy sauce
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 tbsp. hot sauce
- 1/2 cup yellow mustard
What’s Next:
Simmer ribs in salt water until tender – 45 minutes to one hour. Push fork between rib bones. If fork slides out easily, the ribs are done.
Boil 6 to 8 cups of Pepsi in a stainless steel pot until reduced to syrup. (This recipe will not work with Diet Pepsi, as sugar is a key ingredient.) Combine all ingredients, except mustard. Simmer for 30 minutes to one hour. Add mustard at end. If sauce is too sweet, add vinegar. If not sweet enough, add brown sugar.
Brown pork ribs on grill. Aromatic wood works well if you are grilling over an open-fire grill. If using a gas grill, try spraying liquid smoke onto the ribs with a spray bottle. The Pepsi sauce will burn if cooked too long, so it should be basted on the ribs at the end.
