Great recip babe!
Oh Boy, I’m always looking for new recipes for my family. Not familiar with Manuka Honey, cant wait to taste…🤩🤩
Weather permitting, we grill at least once a week in the summer months, so these would be used primarily in that.
The honey would make a tasty addition to marinates.. Especially to pork!
A homemade bbq rub is going to be my next new project. I am in love with everything that is grilled and of course edible as well. This is a nice recipe to try indeed.
Great rub for my meats and veggies before I put it on the grill. Your recipe looks really delicious and I can’t wait to try it. Thanks for sharing and the chance to win.
We love grilling in the summer, my kids especially. We’d definitely be cooking up some chicken along with corn and asparagus!
I would use it over chicken on the grilll
I’d use this for our backyard BBQs and get=togethers!
I definitely want to try and make this. I’ll get meat for this weekend!
Looks like a great rub! I’ll have to give it a try this weekend.
We love grilling, but we are in Florida and it is HOT over here now, we are limiting it to the cooler days. Never heard of Manuka Honey looks like it’s a product we want to try for sure.
I have to show this to my husband! He loves to grill and barbecue, and this rub sounds like something he’d be very interested in. I love the honey.
This needs to happen for our next ourdoor party! Looks so yummy!
That Manuka Honey looks like it makes amazing homemade marinades for BBQ season. And, that smoked margarita salt sounds amazing, have to try that.
I love making my own rubs and marinades! Got to give your food lots of flavor!
YUM!! I need like all of these!!!
That sounds really good. I’ve never made my own rub before. I definitely need to give this recipe a try.
My husband has three different grills and is always trying new recipes. I’ll have to share this one with him for next time!
We love grilling, but we tend to grill less in the summer (since it’s currently 110 degrees here). I’m saving this for when the weather cools down a little. Looks delish!
I’d really like to try this on some ribs. We tend to like a little heat in our barbecue flavors so the touch of Fuji Fire sauce is sounding really good.
These spices sound amazing. I love Manuka honey so I bet I would love these spices.
My brother-in-law loves to grill! He will appreciate this for a difference when he’s grilling.
