Instructions for John Thornes Home-Grown Patent Rub

Ive been reading and enjoying John Thornes book "Serious Pig." The section on barbecue includes this rub, which I just tried on some baby backs with excellent results. Im pretty new to barbecue, but please trust me on this one--we all have to take a leap of faith every now and then, right? Pound everything in a mortar (or pulse in a food processor) until its a thick paste. If necessary, add a little hot water to thin to the consistency of bottled grainy mustard. Work the result evenly into the meat and let sit 1/2 hour or so before cooking. Recipe makes enough for 3 racks of baby backs. Posted to bbq-digest by wight@odc.net on Mar 16, 1998
