Ten on the Tenth....BBQ RUB

Our Ten on the Tenth challenge this month was to Think Spring for under $10.

With "Barbecue Season" right around the corner, I thought I would share my recipe for a "BBQ RUB".  This is perfect on all grilled meats, especially hamburgers.

All of these spices were in my cupboard!

I usually make up a few batches of this so I have it on hand.   When I am invited to a BBQ at a friend's house it is perfect for a little hostess gift,  especially when wrapped like this:

I printed the recipe onto card stock paper and rolled it into a tube (You can also use a toilet paper tube):

I wrapped the 1 cup of the BBQ Rub in a small zip bag... 

...and placed inside of the paper tube  and then stitched it on each end, opposite ways:

I can be tucked it into a bouquet of flowers for the hostess:

The rub costs only a few dollars to make a cup (with plenty of spices left over)  and the packaging is basically free!
