Applewood Chipotle Rub

Sweet first, from granulated honey and smoked applewood salt, then a steady chipotle heat that adds to the smoke rather than fighting it. Never overpowering, which is why it works on vegetables as well as it does on pork.

Ingredients: Hand blended from granulated honey, smoked apple wood sea salt, paprika, garlic, onion, chipotle powder, black pepper, and chipotle flakes.

How to use: About a tablespoon per pound of chicken or pork, half that for fish. Pat it into all sides before cooking.

Try it on: pulled pork, ribs, burgers, chicken, sweet potatoes, corn on the cob, and brussels sprouts.
