Building on Basics: the Makings of a Spice Rub
Have you wondered how to go about making your own spice rubs? Sure, you could just drop a few bucks and get that foiled packet at the store. The problem is that you are paying for one-meal's worth in that one super-small packet. It isn't even all spices when you take a look at the ingredients list. All of the multiple types of salt, the multiple types of sugar, the anti-caking agents to make it shelf-stable is going into your foil packet for that one meal! It is a waste of money and it really is a pouch of chemicals. If you are apprehensive over making your own spice rubs because of the unknown or you are one of those people who believe they have to have a recipe, stop right there. Don't be apprehensive - come out of your comfort zone. No, you do NOT have to have a recipe. What you do need is to have fun, experience what it's like to just be free and enjoy the creativity of what goes into making your own! You are the only person who knows what you like, right? We are building up a "foundation" that starts with a traditional all-purpose blend and then we build from there. There is a video on my Youtube channel that also gives this information and a pork rib prep demo.
