  While the ribs are smoking, combine all of the ingredients for the sauce in a medium saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.

  When the ribs are done, brush them all over with sauce, then return the ribs to the grill out of the foil and cook them until the sauce is set. (about 10 minutes)
