Ginger BBQ Sauce

This year as part of the farm share we are getting a half gallon of organic apple juice from Oyler's Farm. As Thursday approaches we try to use up the end of last week's juice. This BBQ sauce was very tasty. I do not like sweet and sticky sauces. This has just a hint of sweetness and the spicy tang that I like. We cooked country style boneless ribs on the grill and glazed with the sauce just before they were done.
