Sweet dry rubs?
I'm tired of all the paprika/pepper etc pork rubs -- they all kinda
taste the same. I'm looking for a sweet one, nothing to overpowering. Any recipes are appreciated. -- JaKe, Seattle "People never understood, that the drum is a musical instrument." Elvin Jones |

BUT, JaKe asked for a "sweet one" so I'd recommend adding some turbino or brown sugar, with the warning that sugars will caramelize and probably burn at high temps, or long cooking times.

That is a winner for sure in my book. If you can cook a good slab of ribs, in particular, nothing will let them speak for themselves better than that. (OK, so I cheat and toss in some MSG). It'll come as a revelation to anyone who's never tasted them that way. And if you're still learning fire control, how much smoke to apply, and such, you get a better sense of what you're doing to that meat, from trial to trial, when it's relatively unseasoned (see how carefully I avoided saying "nekkid"? When people ask for "barbecue recipes" I often suspect that they are not putting the emphasis, in perfecting their barbecue, on what I have come to believe is most important part, which is fire control (including both temperature regulation and controlling the application of smoke) and recognizing degrees of done-ness - which I've got no business suggesting is the case in this thread, I just mention it as a general point of interest. |

Well, this is a little sweet and definately different: 1 large can frozen orange juice - don't add any water 1 cup dark brown sugar 1/2 cup Heinz ketchup 1/2 cup of mustard (regular yellow, not dry) 1/2 cup of whiskey (anything that ya got, cheap stuff works fine) 1/4 cup soy sauce (optional) 1/2 cup worcestershire sauce (I recomment L&P) Grated onion and garlic to taste (I wouldn't advise using dried) dump everything in a blender and mix Another variation, depending on what I'm looking for is some chipotle peppers or tabasco, etc. Freezes well. -- Steve Men are from Earth.

How much of each? I mix it up in a good sized batch for convenience. 1 part kosher salt 1 part cracked (not ground) black pepper 1/2 part garlic powder. I've done many a different rub on ribs in particular and this one is the hands down winner as far as my family is concerned. Also slather them with CYM before applying the rub. _________ ht_redneck |

I'm new to this group (will post an official intro soon) but I use a sweet rub on my ribs (and briskets) that you might like to try. It's really easy, too. I mix McCormick's Season-All with either some brown sugar or turbinado and get ribs that have a really nice spicy-sweet taste to them. Don't even need any sauce! The proportions of Season-All to sugar are approximately 1:1 (i.e.: a cup of seasoning to a cup of sugar, etc.), but you may want to experiment with that. If you have a different seasoned salt (Lawry's, homemade, etc.) that you prefer, then use that, instead. As someone else mentioned, too much sugar and too high heat can cause the sugar to caramelize and burn, so I suggest that you rub your ribs the night before and let the rub "infuse" itself into the meat overnight in the fridge. Then, if you're worried about the sugar, just brush it off the meat before you put it in the smoker. Stan Marks |

Two of my favorite brews come down island. > I grind all of my cinnamon and nutmeg fresh too. It's an integral part > of my exercise regime! I can't find good fresh nutmeg, it always has little critters in the unground "nuts". Is this normal? Or am I just super unlucky with nutmeg (even from Penzeys). > One thing: this stuff is best made fresh-it does not keep for years in > the pantry. Make a batch and use it up.

I agree. You don't need to season prior to cooking, although, for us who have cooked for more years than I am going to admit, thank you very much, it is hard to resist. And southern style barbeque, which is popular here in Kentucky, is meat that is cooked to doneness, then slathered with barbeque sauce. I'll confess to going "against" the book on one thing, though--I love grilling chicken and putting on a sweet bbq sauce before it is finished so as to have some of that blackened/burned sauce on the chicken pieces. I just love that. |

I used it on both pork and beef ribs. Anyway, here it is for your perusal: 2 T. Paprika 1 t. cayenne pepper 1 t. garlic powder 1 t. onion powder 1 T. salt 1 t. ground black pepper 2 t. ground cumin 1 1/2 T. brown sugar 1/4 t. ground cinnamon 1/8 t. ground cloves 1/8 t. ground nutmeg This rub made excellent ribs that were enjoyed by all both dry and wet. |
