Ten Spice Dry Rub

Dry rub application on pork ribs for barbecue.Image via Wikipedia
     Smoked spare ribs are in the oven, wrapped in foil and heating up for Father's Day dinner. Hubby found a new dry rub recipe in one of the cooking magazines for me to try, but of course I had to alter the directions. I went on the conservative side with the brown sugar. I know there's a chemical breakdown going on with the sugar and the meat, but I didn't want it too sweet. We tried some of the dry rub sprinkled on warm fried potatoes and it was just right, a bit of heat, smoke and not too sweet. This is one we'll be using again.

Ten Spice Dry Rub
2-1/2 T. paprika
2-1/2 tsp. black pepper
6 T. light brown sugar
2-1/2 T. kosher salt
1-1/4 tsp. celery salt
1 T. garlic powder
2 T. dry mustard
2-1/2 T. cumin
2-1/2 T. chili powder
1-1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

Combine all ingredients in small mixing bowl. Stir well; crumbling brown sugar with fingers if needed to make sure it's broken up and thoroughly combined. Store in airtight container. Saves for up to 6 months. Makes 1-1/4 cups.
