BBQ Rub

Here’s a quick little recipe for a BBQ rub that goes great on pork. It’s what I’m using this 4th of July weekend.

1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 cup paprika
1/4 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup cumin
1/4 cup granulated garlic
1/4 cup granulated onion
1/4 cup cinnamon
1 1/5 dashes of ground cloves

mix together and sprinkle liberally over your spare ribs or pork butt before smoking.

    This rub sounds like it goes great on just about anything; but definitely the best on pork! One of my favorite go-to recipes for pork is this one http://weber.com/recipes/Recipe.aspx?rid=95. Molly (Weber)

    Sounds like a great recipe! I’ll definitely have to give it a try. I have been trying a lot of different rubs and grilling recipes lately, and they have all turned out excellent. I got all the recipes from the Weber site. Check it out! (http://weber.com/recipes/Recipe.aspx?rid=62).

    I’m going to try this rub recipe for my next grilling project. Do you have a rub for Fish (Salmon, Halibit …….)?

    I should try that. Usually I get lazy and end up buying store bought rub, since I never have any rub recipes on hand. But hey, I’ve got pork thawing in the fridge now, so I must give it a go : )

    I’ve got hypertension and can’t have a lot of salt. I really love bbq, but all the rubs have got so much salt. Anyone have a rub with a low amount of salt that works good??

    thanks,
    Chris

    Chris, not sure what you call “a lot of salt,” but here are two possibilities. Pappy’s “50% Less Salt” might work for you. Good flavor, 180 mg Sodium/1/4 tsp. pappyschoice.com

    Costco also has their “Sweet Mesquite Seasoning” which has 110 mg/tsp. You can use these and cut them with mild or medium ground chile and/or onion powder.
