I Love A Good Butt Rub

This post is not nearly as racy as the title might suggest. The butt rub I am talking about is a seasoning that get massaged into beef or pork (such as baby back ribs or a pork butt) or chicken before cooking...you know, a dry rub. Well, there is a small local business that would like to carry our garlic rub and they are trying our sweet BBQ rub as well. We recommended they try it on ribs. So we will see if they like it as too.

In the past we have used it in our own cooking. My hubby is utterly brilliant with a grill. In the past couple of years we have also given it as gifts at the holidays. My favorite is the sweet BBQ rub. It is amazing on ribs.

We spent the day running around picking up and pricing ingredients a bit. It is unfortunate that we have to drive an hour each way to get the special garlic that we use. A few of the other ingredients require a 40 minute drive each way in the opposite direction, and some ingredients have to be mail ordered. Thankfully the end product is worth the effort. We are still trying to decide on the packaging...what would be cost effective, but still attractive and functional.

I have no idea if we will sell much of this rub and what it will take to make this "business" legal. My hubby will hopefully call a buddy of his that started a very successful yogurt company many years ago. He was the first manufacturer to make chocolate yogurt. After many years he retired and sold that business to Dannon. Hopefully he can give us good advice on how to go forward. We will keep our fingers crossed. Nothing ventured, nothing gained!
