Big Daddy's Song of the South Dry Rub

This is my own dry rub, and it is the one I most often use for barbecuing pork roasts. Not too spicy (to keep Carol happy) and without the clove or allspice (to keep Jeffrey happy). It really is a wonderful compromise between the pepper based, highly spiced rubs and the very sweet ones.

Mix thoroughly. Keep stored in cool, dark place until ready to use. Rub the mixture into pork or chicken and place in refrigerator overnight. Grill, bake or smoke the meat as you ordinarily would.
