My recipe for a simple BBQ rub is the perfect gift to give to friends and co-workers at Christmas time. I found the perfect jars (with spoons) at Hobby Lobby, and I also found 1/4 cup mason jars at Joanne's Fabric. It was fun making a large batch of my Rub and thinking of the friends I am giving it too, hoping they have a fun BBQ or tailgater to give their favorite ribs or pulled pork a bit of spicy flavor from my kitchen!
