One of the easiest things to do is to make your own spice mixes. Not only will it save you a ton of money, but it is a great way to use up the spices in your pantry before they get stale. The Dry Rub for Pork Recipe, is one of the easiest in my recipe selection.
I don’t even have any process photos on this one. All that you have to do is measure the spices and mix.
The one important thing to keep in mind is that you don’t want to add salt to the spice mixes you plan to store for any length of time. The salt will draw moisture out of the air and the mixture will cake up, at least in humid upstate NY! You can store the mixes indefinitely in an air tight container.

Can I use this rub for a different meat as I do not eat pork?
This rub would be great on beef too, Mirlene! Give it a try and let me know how you like it!
What a great idea, I think I have all the spices I need. Getting into this rub right now.
Thanks Laura! I appreciate your comment! Hope you enjoy the rub!
I am often intrigued by the use of onion powder in US recipes, it is pretty rare to see and find here in Europe. Such lovely flavours for pork although I have to admit that I usually always add fennel seeds to any dry rubs I use on pork.
That’s odd. Onion add such great flavor to any dish! I mean, you add onion to 99.9% of the savory dishes that you make, why not add it in dehydrated form? I was going for more of Mexican flair with this rub. Fennel would not do. Thanks for the comment, Brian!
You are so right about saving money with homemade spice mixes! I have been doing this more and more. I like the Mexican flair going on in this mix, and I am sure it will be perfect for the pork tacos I’m making this week!
Mmm! I love pork tacos! It would be great for that!
This sounds like such a great mix of spices and great to have on hand when you need it.
Thank you Caroline! I appreciate your comment!
I love all the different spices in this .. I have everything bought separated, so this rub will come in handy and perfect for all the pork roasts I make!
It’s a great way to use your spices before they lose their peak flavor! Thanks, Claudia!
So good! I like to add a little chipotle powder, too. I love spice!
I add chipotle when I have it. I was out at the moment. More heat is good! And the smokiness of the chipotle is great! Thanks, Alyssa!
Pork is in regular rotation at my house and I’m always looking for new ways to spice it up. This looks like one that would be a huge hit with my family!
Thanks Karen! I appreciate your comment!
I love homemade spices! You are correct, they will save a ton of money.
They’re so easy as well! Thank you for the comment, Jacque!
