Ingredients

  • 4 pounds venison ribs
  • 2 bay leaves
  •  
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups ketchup
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons dark molasses
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ribs and bay leaves, reduce heat, and simmer for 2 hours.
