Dry Rub For Pork

This is a multi-purpose seasoning rub.  Not only does it enhance the flavor of pork, it makes other cuts of meat like beef or chicken taste better as well.  It is the perfect blend of spices and takes no time at all to mix up a bottle to have ready for when you are about to prepare meat for supper.

Ingredients

1/2 c. brown sugar
2 Tbs. chili powder
2 Tbs. smoked paprika
2 tsp. cumin
2 tsp. thyme
2 tsp. dry mustard
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. pepper

Directions

In a bowl, or a jar that has a tight-fitting lid, combine brown sugar, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, thyme, dry mustard, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and pepper.  Mix thoroughly. If using a jar, which is better and keeps down the dust, put the lid on the jar and shake the jar until the contents are thoroughly combined.

To use, sprinkle some seasoning over the pork a bit liberally.  Rub it in well with your hands. Make sure that the seasoning is covering the entire surface. Place the pork in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before cooking.
