Plus, two homemade gift ideas for any occasion.
Early in our marriage, my mother gifted Warren a box of our family’s favorite recipes. She hand wrote each card, many of which are now lovingly stained and crinkled. Her rub for pork and beef hangs permanently in our kitchen, next to Warren’s frequently used cookbooks. It’s our go-to for pork chops, skirt steak, tri-tip, and ribs. A jar of rub makes the perfect homemade gift for neighbors or co-workers who love to grill, especially now that everyone is cooking at home.
And if you’re looking for hand-made gift for any occasion, I highly recommend sharing your favorite family recipes in a box or book. I promise it won’t disappoint.
In the meantime, make a batch of rub for yourself.
