Cherry Cola For Ribs?

Preston, you know I love you, n'est pas?That's French, Babka, and that's Russkie. Forget the idea. Pop sucks. Make a Cherry Something and use that. If you need help, I'll be here.

Hmmmm..so I guess that means pass on the cherry cola?

Anywhooo....I know I can order cherry rub from PorkRubbers...and some of the other spice sites...

Is there a recipe for cherry rub that can be made from store bought ingredients easily found in the Piggly Wiggly's and Walmarts of the world?

Thanks!

CHERRY RUB -----
Now THAT'S a visceral image


sorry...devil made me say it

never heard of porkrubbers, but sounds like a site I'd like to explore. Got the site info? also any other good rub/sauce sites would be appreciated.

Well, now. I'm with Toppy on this one. Let's explore this...Cherry Rub. First, I'd have to say: Stay away from my daughter! Then I'd have to ponder...Cherry Rub. Kinda makes me...well, never mind, but what exactly would Cherry Rub be? There's those dried Cherries you can get nowadays, and they are killer. But, I don't see making a rub outta them. Wait! I know! I've had an epiphany! Take those dried Cherries and dry them more until crispy and pulverize and mix with chilies or whatever you please! You mean, like that?

NJ,

Here is a site offering the cherry rub for sale. Try a search on Google and there are a bunch more:

I have been making my own cherry rub since this past Xmas. I received a bag of free "dried" cherries as a Xmas present and decided that would be my "theme" for ribs this year. Then, like Andi mentioned, I further dried them and ground them up and formed a rub.

Now, this was a huge pain the arse! The cherries never get real dry and I broke my grinder...burned the motor out! Also, after drying and using, not as much cherry flavor as I had expected. That is why I went to using a cherry yogurt.....that kicked up the taste considerably.

Also, the cherries will harden with any hint of moisture present...so that makes it very hard to use at cook-offs......where your spices pretty much sit out all night.

Mary's Cherry Rub is VERY good and I endorse it highly! Her's has a great cherry taste and also has ingredients that avoid the moisture problem.

I have no idea what she is using to get that cherry flavor, but I am searching. The Great American Spice Company is headquartered here in Ft. Wayne and I have become friends with the owner. He is a graduate of the CIA and knows his spices. I have an appointment with him this coming week and am asking for his ideas on where to get a cherry flavor for my rub.

WOW! Go, Stogie! The G. A. Spice Company is my all-time favorite! Can ya drop my name, Dude?

I can't wait for your Cherry Rub to come out commercially. Hurry! I have a huge Pork Loin (elephant nose) in the fridge!

`Nother thang: Halibut Season is around the corner. Smoked Butt is Okay, perse. Please don't buy it from anyone but me, as it's actually pretty boring and dry. I have a Kick In The Pants Way...and now, I'm thinkin' Cherry Rub. Yes.

Andi!

Glad to see you posting again!

I am afraid my rub will not be available for purchase....BUT.....I will share the recipe once I have found the proper ingredients.

As far as my cherry rub on the pork butt....I don't even bother...that piece of meat is so large. Any rub/marinade will only penetrate 5mm, so on that large a piece of meat, it is the least important part of prepping. I use my own pork rub that is much cheaper to make.

Now, if you want to send me some Halibut.....just for the halofit.....

The Butt I was referring to was Halibut! Now I see I have to change my pet name for it. All Alaskans call it Butt. I have a freezer full of Butt Cheeks! How do ya like me now? HA! I am very excited about your Cherry Rub. Hurry! Smoked HALibut is really not all that special, and the internet prices you see it fetches is w-a-y too much. Now, Cherry Rub might just "kick it up a notch". I will plan to send you some!
