No sugar

Mo-Dave · 10-17-2007, 12:50 PM

Anyone know of a rub, commercial or homemade without sugar or any other sweeteners added?

I have one I love on pork. I'll post it when I get home.

Dave, I used this once on ribs, it was pretty tasty, I swapped fresh ground black pepper w/ the cayenne.
NCgriimbo has on simalar...Found this on tvwb.

Check the Smoke and Spice Cookbook - I believe they have a couple without sweeteners. I have a "finishing" rub that I sprinkle on my pork after it is pulled that does not have sugar in it. I don't know that I would use it as liberally as I would my standard rub (with sugar).

Can Splenda be used as a substitute for sugar?

If you google mainley dave, he made his own rubs using Splenda. This was for weight loss.

Just thinking out loud here, Good luck on your request.

I believe this is the recipe I started with and have modified some to suit my weird taste. (I removed the cumin for one thing.)

I love this on butts. Once chopped, I sprinkle a little more in.

From Steven Raichlen:

Puerto Rican Pig Powder
1/3 cup course salt
2 tablespoons white pepper
2 tablespoons black pepper
2 tablespoons parsley
1 1/2 tablespoons cumin
1 tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder

That's an interesting rub, what is the taste/flavor of this? I haven't eaten much Puerto Rican food...

Keale, I think you'll like it. Give it a shot.

Here is a basic savory barbecue rub:
Ingredients
4 parts kosher salt
4 parts garlic powder
2 parts black pepper
1 part cayenne

Works on most meat.

Salt, pepper and garlic used to be all I ever used before getting serious about bbq. I have given serious thought to going back to just that.

I am diabetic but my real motive for taking the sugar out is to try and lighten up my meat color, mostly for ribs and chicken. They always turn out so dark and I am not a big fan of turbonato sugar. I am not sure what Splenda would turn out since its a sugar product.
