The first one is a mild all purpose rub that goes well on anything. You can boost the heat to your liking. The others get progressively hotter. Since it is Pork, add the Turbinado Sugar if you use the last one. If there is something else you would like, send a PM with your preferences and I can work with you on another...JJ

This stuff is HOT and full flavored with touch of Smokiness. Feel free to adjust the heat to your taste by playing with the amount of Chipotle and Cayenne Powder. All the ingredients except maybe the Tomato Powder is available at the Grocery Store. This stuff will also Kick Butt as the seasoning in a batch of Chili, leave out the Sugar...JJ
