2. Purée sauce in 2 or 3 batches in a blender until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Set aside 1 cup sauce for serving with ribs.

Grill ribs:

1. Prepare grill for cooking over indirect heat with medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas)
2. To cook ribs using a charcoal grill: Lightly oil grill rack, then transfer ribs to the area of the rack with no coals underneath, reserving pan juices, and cook, covered with a lid, basting generously with pan juices and sauce and turning over and rotating ribs every 10 minutes (keep ribs over indirect heat), until tender and browned 30 to 40 minutes total. Transfer ribs to a cutting board and let’s stand 5 minutes before cutting into individual ribs.
3. To cook ribs using a gas grill: Lightly oil grill rack, then transfer ribs to rack above shut-off burner, reserving pan juices. Grill, covered with a lid, basting generously with pan juices and sauce and turning over and rotating ribs every 10 minutes (keep ribs over shut-off burner), until ribs are tender and browned 30 to 40 minutes total.

Cook’s note:

1. If you aren’t able to grill outdoors, after baking ribs covered, remove the top sheet of foil and continue to bake ribs, uncovered, basting generously with sauce and pan juices every 10 minutes and turning ribs after 20 minutes, 40 minutes total. Then turn on the broiler and broil ribs, meaty sides up, 4 to 6 inches from heat until browned, about 3 minutes.
