   2. Add the ketchup, molasses, brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, chili powder, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer. Stir frequently until thickened, about 30 minutes.
   3. Using a food processor, blend sauce until smooth. Allow to cool to room temperature.

   To prepare the ribs:

   1. Prepare an outdoor grill to a heat of 225 degrees F. Place the ribs on the grill, meat side up, until the ribs are cooked through, about 5 hours.
