BBQ sauce

I prepared this BBQ sauce yesterday for Pork Spare Ribs.  I baked the ribs at 200 degrees in a dutch oven for 2.5 hours, spread a bit of this sauce over them, then baked for another 1.5 hours.  Then, I drained the fat, spread more BBQ sauce over the ribs and baked at 300 degrees for another 1.5 hours.  The ribs were a tender and tasty treat for the Labor Day supper.

2 tsp. chili powder
2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. cider vinegar
1/2 c. ketchup
1/4 c. Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbl. lemon juice
2 Tbl. minced onion
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/8 tsp. garlic powder

Mix all ingredients in a small pan.  Simmer for 1/2 hour, then use as needed.  Some of the sauce can be reserved for dipping, if you prefer.
