Notes

How to Store Dry Rub for Ribs

Since this spice rub has brown sugar, it’s best to transfer any leftover dry rub into an airtight container, such as a glass jar or a resealable plastic bag. Since brown sugar tends to harden when exposed to air, consider placing a small piece of bread or a few marshmallows in the container to help absorb excess moisture and keep the sugar soft.
Properly stored, the dry rub should maintain its quality for several months up to six months at room temperature.
