Equipment

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup brown sugar
  • 2 Teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 Teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 Tablespoon chipotle powder
  • 1 Teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 Teaspoon mustard powder

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
  • Sift the spices through a fine mesh sieve to make sure there aren't any lumps.
  • Funnel the BBQ rub into your jars. Tap the jar lightly against the table to let the spices settle, and continue to fill to the rim of the jar
  • Print your label out on sticker paper.
  • Place the sticker on the jar.
  • Cut a section of twine (about 20 inches depending on your jar) and wrap it around the jar two times just under the lid. Tie a knot in the twine.
  • Attach your spoon by tying a knot around it. Once the knot is tied, tie a bow to complete the gift.

Notes

Measure accurately: Use measuring spoons for consistent flavor each time.
Sieve the spices: This keeps the rub smooth with no stubborn lumps.
Pack jars tightly: A gentle tap on the counter settles the mixture nicely.
Add labels: Include a name, date, and a cheeky serving suggestion for fun.
Suggest resting time: Let the rub sit on meat at least 30 minutes before cooking for the best flavor.
