Ingredients

  • 1/4 c. kosher salt
  • 1/4 c. dark brown sugar firmly packed
  • 3 Tbsp smoked paprika
  • 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp ground dry mustard
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground ginger

Notes

Storage Tips
  • Store spices in a screw top container with the lid tightly closed.
  • Keep your spices in the pantry away from direct light.
  • Storing spices away from heat will help them last longer.
  • When you use your spices, use dry measuring spoons. Even the slightest amount of water on a spoon can spoil the contents of the rest of the jar.
  • Use fresh spices that aren’t close to their expiration date when mixing up this rub.
  • If stored correctly rubs will last about a year.
