Rib Rub
Chris Schlesinger

I've relied on this for more than fifteen years; it's the best rib rub in my repertoire, and the only one you'll ever need. Unbelievably delicious, and not at all hot.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chili powder

Preparation:

Stir all the ingredients together in a bowl, then transfer the mixture to a covered container. Keeps for at least one summer. Makes 1/4 cup.
