Black Cherry Rib Rub

Sweet, smoky, and irresistibly bold—BLACK CHERRY RIB RUB is the ultimate secret weapon for an unforgettable barbecue. Created by Chef David Cunningham of Cinders & Salt, this house-made blend combines the finest ingredients for a perfect harmony of sweet black cherry, savory spices, and just the right amount of heat.

The star of the show is rich black cherry powder, balanced with brown sugar, garlic, and a medley of peppers to deliver flavor that’s juicy, complex, and downright addictive.

Perfect Pairings:

• Ribs: The sweet and smoky notes caramelize beautifully on pork and beef ribs.
• Pork chops: Add a fruit-forward flair to grilled or baked pork.
• Chicken wings: Elevate your wing game with a sticky-sweet finish.
• Salmon or duck: A gourmet touch for rich meats.
• Roasted veggies: Sprinkle on sweet potatoes, carrots, or squash for a barbecue-inspired twist.

Flavor Notes:
Deep black cherry sweetness paired with a smoky blend of garlic, paprika, and thyme, finished with a citrusy kick and warm ginger spice.

Pro Tip: For maximum flavor, generously rub onto your meat at least an hour before cooking, then let the grill or smoker work its magic.
