Preparation

Cut rib racks in half. Mix together garlic, whisky, ginger, lemon juice, pepper, salt and cayenne. Rub over both sides of ribs; place in plastic bag and refrigerate overnight or for up to 2 days.

Place ribs in roasting pan; cover with foil. Roast in 375°F/190°C oven until tender, about 90 minutes.

Whisky Sour Barbecue Sauce: Meanwhile, in saucepan over medium heat, stir together sugar, whisky, lemon juice, tomatoes and molasses. Boil until reduced by half, about 12 minutes. Reduce heat and stir in garlic; simmer for 1 minute. Set aside.

Grill ribs over medium-high heat, covered, until lightly browned on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Brush meat side of racks with some of the sauce; cover and grill for 5 minutes. Turn over and grill until sauce is glazed, about 1 minute. Turn again and brush remaining sauce over top; cover and grill for 3 minutes. Turn; grill for 1 minute. Cut into individual pieces.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.
