Notes
Sealed Container: I recommend storing this in a sealed container if you are not going to use it immediately. We use a mason jar and keep it in the cupboard. (But I will be very surprised if you don't use most of this immediately - as it is so darned delicious!)Gift Giving: This makes a fantastic gift! We layer the spices in a jar and give it as gifts to our friends.Sweet Paprika: We chose Sweet Paprika and most of us have Paprika in our pantry which is the same thing. Paprika comes in 3 varieties: Sweet, Hot or Smoked. If it isn't labeled, it is considered Sweet. Until people start making rubs, they generally don't have ¼ cup sitting around which is why we talk about where to buy it above. Substitutions: This is a great time to swap out a little bit of Smoked Paprika for the Sweet. I wouldn't suggest doing 100% swap as that is a lot of smoke flavor in the mouth but you could change this rub simply by removing 2 tsp of Sweet and adding in 2 tsp of Smoked.
