This is a great recipe to prepare in large batches. Make some cute name tags, tie some twine around a container and you will have a unique and flavorful gift for someone.
This is a really easy recipe to make. Just gather the ingredients and place in an airtight container. Your rub will remain fresh for months and it’s perfect for quick summer suppers on the grill.

The rub is fantastic on ribs and brisket.

12/09/2016 at 10:28 pmI want to make jars with this dry rub to give as Christmas gifts. How much of each ingredient do you put in the jar?
Gina Marie says
12/10/2016 at 7:07 amI triple the recipe and mix it in one large bowl. Then using a funnel I fill each jar. Sometimes my jars are different sizes so this makes it easier. I also print the recipe and attach with the gift so they can make it themselves when they run out.
