All-Purpose Bbq Seasoning

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 170u00b0.

2. 2

   Pour the sea salt and dark brown sugar on a large sheet pan, mix well, and spread the mixture evenly over the entire pan.

3. 3

   Bake the salt/sugar mixture for 60 minutes, or until the sugar is very dry.

4. 4

   Notes: drying the sugar prevents clumping and ensures an even distribution in the final product. Drying it with the salt helps prevent the sugar from becoming a solid sheet. It's happened to me, and it's bad. That's how I developed this method.

5. 5

   Combine the remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

6. 6

   When the sugar is dry, remove the pan from the oven and let cool. Once cool, grind the mixture well in the pan by rolling it with a rolling pin. Do this several times in alternating directions.

7. 7

   Sift the salt/sugar mixture into the mixing bowl. I use a fine mesh strainer and a pestle to break it up further. Toss out any rock-like clumps.

8. 8

   Mix all the ingredients very well (I use a large whisk) and store in an airtight container.
