1 TBSP onion powder
2 TSP cumin
2 TSP garlic powder(I use lawrys, cheap garlic powder will give it a bitter after taste).
1 TBSP salt(you can vary the salt to your taste)
1 1/2 TSP black pepper
1 TSP prudhomes meat magic
1 TSP lemon pepper
2 TSP ground mustard
1/2-1 TSP chilli powder(this is optional, but makes for a nice kick if you like that) or you could use red pepper to get more kick
Mix the above together first, then add
1/3 cup paprika
And lastly add
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
Mix it this way to allow all the ingredients to mix without clumping. The brown sugar tends to make everything stick togetehe unless you add it last. I use this as my sweet rub, and also on most anything I cook on the grill. It is a sweet rub which isn't for everybody, but if you have an ulcer(like me) it won't flare it up if you leave out the chilli powder.
For my injection it is fairly basic.
2 1/2 cups 100% apple juice(the REAL stuff, not the from concentrate)
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1-2 TBSP of honey(do this to taste)
2 TBSP of your prefferred BBQ sauce
1 TBSP of the rub
2 TBSP butter(MUST be butter, not margerine)
1 TSP of brown sugar
Heat it on the stove in a saucepan on medium heat until all the ingredients have melted together stirring occasionally. Make sure not to let it boil as it will give it a burnt taste.
My prefferred BBQ sauce is SONNYS sweet, but I cut it to about 4:1 with JACK DANIELS, 1-2 TBSP of honey, and my secret ingredient is lemon juice. Lemon juice gives the sauce a nice penetrating power to it, without making it bitter like vinegar does. The honey helps to counter any bitterness from the lemon juice, and sweetens it up since I like a sweet sauce since I can't eat a spicy one.
I normally just wing it with the making it and do it by taste, so the amounts in the sauce and injection may need some minor tweeking to get to your individual taste.
