"Got this from McCormick and had it for dinner last night. Whole family enjoyed it. I don't have a grill, so I pan seared it first then finished baking it in the oven. Love how the rub gets caramelized. Delicious. I usually marinate over night."

This was pretty good, but a bit on the bland side. I thought there was too much sweet compared to the amount of spice. I used it on pork steaks instead of pork loin.

I cooked mine on the grill. Don't let the "burn" look fool you - it's just the sugar caramelizing. I dont' know if it was the cut of meat I used (a split pork loin) of the length of time it took to cook - but the meat was tough. The outside was hard and the flavor was weird. I don't do this one again.

This is an EXCELLENT rub made from ingredients I always have on hand - I LOVE that! The sweet and spicy flavors, mixed with that great grilled taste, really complemented the pork. I used this rub on thick-cut chops and seared them on both sides and grilled them over a low flame for approx. 20 minutes (165F internal temp). Thanks so much for this great recipe! Looking forward to using it all summer! :)

This was okay. Used it on pork tenderloins but didn't have time to let it sit for awhile. I'll give it another try this summer and refrigerate for a couple hours to see if it is better.
