Pork Rub

Sweet before hot, the way a pork rub should be. Turbinado and demerara sugar set up the crust, paprika and chili powder add color and warmth, and grains of paradise bring a peppery brightness you don't get from black pepper alone.

Ingredients: Hand blended from turbinado sugar, salt, paprika, demerara sugar, grains of paradise, onion, garlic, yellow mustard, chili powder, brown mustard, black pepper, rosemary, marjoram, clove, and allspice.

Try it on: pork shoulder, ribs, chops, tenderloin, and pulled pork.
