DIY Barbecue Rubs for Father’s Day

Ever struggle to find the perfect gift for Father’s Day? Even if your dad is the man who has everything, the way to a man’s heart is still through his stomach! Well, a homemade barbecue rub may be the perfect custom gift–personal and practical (and affordable!).

Whether your dad is the king of the grill or the resident chef in your home kitchen, these spice combinations offer plenty of options. Spoon the blend into a mason jar and tie with the manliest ribbon you can find. Pair your custom rub with a good quality set of grilling tongs and you’re ready to show dad some love.

For most of these blends, add approximately 1 tsp-1 Tbsp of each spice; for sugar(s), measure approximately 1/4 cup into your recipe. With stronger spices like cumin and turmeric, you’ll want to start with smaller amounts so the flavor isn’t too overpowering. Try the spice blend before rubbing onto the meat to make sure the flavor is balanced. Measurements can vary based on personal preference. Salt provides flavor and sugar provides a nice caramelized finish to the meat.
