        Hi, Rosie,
        Thanks for the “Rub”!! You put together some great spices for it. I am going to actually make a container full and use it occasionally on various meats for quick marinating and/or seasoning.

            I saw the oven brisket recipe. I doing it in the conventional oven. When taking off foil for the last hour, is that what develops the crust? In using your rub, I’m afraid that the sugar will make it sweet. Is that true? Also, I usually use liquid smoke (from Texas) and it’s not good unless it has that smoky flavor so my question is – is there any type of liquid smoke that’s in powered form and if so how much to use in your rub recipe?

          • Rosie says

            May 6, 2015 at 11:58 am

            Hi Sonya. Yes, removing the foil does make the outer part of the brisket a little crisp. If you are afraid to use my rub, use another. I only use liquid smoke, and unfamiliar with powdered smoke. I can not give you any suggestions on that, sorry.

            How long will this keep?

          • Rosie says

            April 10, 2017 at 9:53 pm

            I’ve kept it for several months before. Maybe 3 months or so, before the brown sugar starts to clump.

    Hi Rosie, I will be trying your brisket recipe with your rub this weekend. However, I want to add liquid smoke (colgin’s hickory flavor). How much should I use? (6-7 lb brisket). Thanks in advance!

      Hi Adam! I eyeball it. Just cook until you reach your desired color. It usually takes about 5-7 minutes.

    Your readers that are wary of liquid smoke can substitute smoked paprika for the regular type. It adds a wonderfully smoky flavor without being overpowering at all!

    Will be putting this rub together tonight. What kind of no salt would you recommend. Any thoughts on MS dash. And how would you do this in oven. I am tying to cut out a lot of fying and only saving frying when absolutely necessary. Thanks so much in advance.

    Every recipe I’ve tried was great! Rosie what made you Enjoy cooking? Great rub cant wait to try it.!! For your cookers when I cook pork chops I use a brine. Equal amounts of sugar and salt with water and soaking for about 1 hr. Rinse and season. Good luck. They are tender. Fry ,grill or bake. I use thick cuts well.
