Barbecue Rib Spice Rub

Recipe type: Jim's original

This is just a basic spice rub recipe that I came up with for my baby back pork ribs. I also use it on bbq chicken leg quarters, a special salmon fillet recipe I have as well as a few others. It's pretty versatile and isn't just for bbq.

1 part salt
1 part black pepper
1 part cinnamon
1/8 part ground cloves
1 part ground thyme
1 part mustard powder
1 part cayenne
2 parts brown sugar
2 parts dried cilantro flakes

Mix well and grind in spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
Store in an airtight container.
