This rub has a wonderful balance of sweet with a little bit of spice that goes so great with smoked pork. There’s no reason to ever buy a rub that you can make at home for almost free. Just mix up some basic ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry, and you’re ready to go! This is the basic pork rub I keep coming back to use again and again because it just works so darn well! Salt or No Salt in Rub?
Since great meat can speak for itself, it’s up to you how much you change the flavor with a dry rub. Adding just enough can enhance and balance everything rather than making it totally taste like the rub as a cover-up. Now that you have the rub ready, it’s time to head out to the barbecue to make some smoked pork belly. It’s all about combining some sweet, savory and a little heat for the ultimate in balance to bring out that amazing sweet pork. Brown Sugar – either use alone, or a combination of granulated or brown will work. Granulated sugar helps more with the bark development, while the molasses in brown sugar brown adds more flavor.
