I don't post in Qtalk much anymore, but wanted to share this accidental discovery with you. Some of you may remember that I am a huge fan of the Simply Marvelous line. I haven't found anything better on pork than S.M. Spicy Apple. Earlier this week, I picked up a rack of baby backs that were on sale for $2.49/lb. I usually cook St. Louis style, but wanted something different, and the price was right. Anyway, I reached for my shaker if S.M. Spicy Apple and started applying it, and noticed it looked "off." I tasted it, and it tasted "off," as well. Looking at the shaker, I realized I had grabbed my shaker of S.M. The Genie's Trinity" instead of Spicy Apple. I wept uncontrollably. Not really. But, never having used The Genie's Trinity on pork before, I called an audible (which woke up and freaked out my dog) and decided to add a layer of S.M. Cherry, which is my second favorite on pork. I said a prayer. I thought about sprinkling it with holy water, but figured that wouldn't be good for the rub adhesion. After firing up the grill with a mix of fruit wood, I gently laid my accidental experiment into its bath of thin, blue smoke.
If you're still awake and reading this, here's the payoff: they were fantastic. No,pix of the finished ones, because, well I forgot. We were hungry. Anyway, cooked at about 4 hours at an average of 250 degrees.
Maybe the moral of this story is that you can never go wrong if you're using Simply Marvelous rubs. At least I like that better than the point being that I was careless and lucked out.
If you haven't already, do yourself a favor and get you some Simply Marvelous stuff.
