This is one of the rubs that I use when grilling, baking, or smoking pork. It has a sweet heat with smoky savor. Plus, the lemon zest adds an almost “Springtime” piquancy. Fix up a batch, store it in a glass container with a good lid. Store it out of the heat and sun, and it will last you six months… just in time for the upcoming grilling/smoking season. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
