Pulled pork dry rub

This is a great rub to use any time you're making a slow-cooked pork, such as pulled pork or any kind of pork loin. It makes about 1 cup of rub.

 

Simply coat the meat with the rub liberally before cooking.

• ¼ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 3 Tablespoons paprika
• 2 Tablespoons kosher salt
• 1 Tablespoon ground cumin
• 1½ teaspoons chili powder
• 1½ teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 1 Tablespoon freshly ground pepper

Combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly. Store in an airtight container in a cool place. This step can be done several days in advance.
