brown sugar for rub

[Enis Simon]

ok so I'm trying to learn what I need to do to dark brown sugar to make it not clump up when I put in with other ingrediants to shaker for a rub. I bought a pourable brown sugar but it sucked. I wan to use regular dark brown sugar. What do I do?

Spread the Brn Sugar on a cookie sheet. 15 minutes at 200 will get it dry. Let cool and break up lumps by Rubbing between your hands or a few pulses in a procesor. Store in a Jar to keep air out...JJ

Whoops...Typed too fast. Use 200°F because of Oven swings...JJ

Enis have you tried Turbinado Sugar also called sugar in the raw? Most Walmart stores carry it and it doesn't clump I use it for rubs and use the same amount as I would Brown Sugar. You will also find it doesn't burn as easy as Brown Sugar. When a Brown Sugar recipe like Dutch's wicked baked beans calls for Dark Brown Sugar then that's what I use but for rubs the Turbinado works much better. I've got a good sized cook coming up and bought some 6lb bags of it in Sam's Club yesterday I ended up going to Costco to and they had the 6lb bags as well.

I agree with Piney, it never clumps up & has a better taste than brown sugar, IMHO.

I agree with the use of turbinado sugar...
I've replaced all the sugars in my ribs with it.
