My pork rub is just a sweeter version of my Hurtado Beef Blend. I felt like I needed something milder for pork, with a sweet finish that isn’t overpowering. It still has much of the same flavor profile of the beef rub but includes granulated sugar and honey powder to help create a sweet and savory balance on ribs, pork shoulders, chops, and even seafood.
