Home-Grown Rub

Rubs

1 teaspoon non-iodized Salt
1 teaspoon ground hot red chile pepper
1 teaspoon whole Black Mustard seeds; (I used Brown)
1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
3 whole  Juniper berries
1 tablespoon Peanut oil
1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tablespoon Brown sugar
2 centiliters Garlic - crushed through a garlic p

Pound everything in a mortar (or pulse in a food processor) until it's a thick paste. If necessary, add a little hot water to thin to the consistency of bottled grainy mustard. Work the paste evenly into the ribs and let sit 1/2 hour or so before cooking. Recipe makes enough for 3 racks of baby backs... For BEEF RIBS, OMIT the MUSTARD SEED and JUNIPER BERRIES
