Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1½ tablespoon salt
- 1½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 teaspoon sage
Instructions
- Start with fresh spices for the best flavor. Mix 3 tbsp brown sugar with salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cloves, and sage to a small bowl. Break up any clumps, if necessary.
- Store in a small spice jar until needed. I use this seasoning mainly on pulled pork and ribs. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if it was great on other meats as well.
Notes
- Using a funnel helps when pouring the pork rub into the jar.
- For best results, always pat the pork dry before applying the rub to help it adhere better.
- If leaving the rub on overnight, wrap the pork in plastic wrap or place it in a sealed container.
- Letting the pulled pork rest after cooking also enhances flavor.
- Store pork rub in a sealed container for up to 3 months.
