im gonna try em all. thai sweet chile sauce honestly is way better sub than honey and is so available/simple (as well as wanting you all to be able to enjoy ribs as good as mine, ya know.. lol) that everyone should just try playing around with that
AFAIK, jellys are pectin/sugar (like honey), thai chile sauce is essentially corn syrup and more of a straight substitute for straight honey whenever that (physical property of em) is a factor. The pectin stops em from burning, hence why honey ends up waaay better than an equivalent amount of sugar solution
Texture-wise and honestly flavor period is in the top 10. and i have cooked a lot of ribs. like a lot. lol
Edit-
Blackberry and other dark fruits prolly cater real well to hispanic and chipotle/ancho etc heavy recipes.. (among others i can think of off the top of my head)
