Mrs. Fields Secrets

Rub a dub-dub, it’s time for barbecue season to get underway! Today’s recipe is everything you need to take your barbecue experience to the next level. It’s a do-it-yourself dry rub to massage into your favorite slab of ribs (beef or pork) before cooking them low and slow until they fall off the bone. And like any die-hard barbecue fan will tell you, there’s no need for sauce if you’ve got a good rub on your ribs. This is just such a rub; and chances are, you’ve got all of the ingredients in the cupboard.
