Cup of Yum
Notes
- Recipe yields just under 1/2 cup (7 tbsp plus 1/2 tsp).
- If you're having trouble with clumps of brown sugar, give the bowl a shake to let all the clumps rise to the top. Use your (clean) fingers to run through and break up the pieces, then whisk them back into the rub.
- Transfer your blend to an airtight container, ideally with a twist-to-seal lid. Store in a cool, dark, dry place such as your pantry or spice drawer. Your blend will last 3-4 years if stored properly. The spices will never go "rotten", but they will eventually stale. The best way to see if your blend is still good is a simple smell test.
