    Looks like it would be good on ribs. The nutmeg and cloves are different. You could add some turbindo if you want sweeter. I use Cavender's alot for different things, great on greek salads and lamb.

    No sugar is quite unusual. Maybe 1 in 40 rubs for pork have no sugar, but are accompanied by a sweet sauce. Usually, there would be a little more sugar than salt.

    About 1 out of 10 for beef have no sugar. I haven't looked at many poultry rubs, but a few of those also had no sugar.

    Also, for my taste, 1 tsp of cloves would be plenty.

    I wonder what is in Cavender's?

    Sounds interesting. Has a decent amount of pepper! I like using white pepper along with black pepper, two different areas of heat. I really enjoy making rubs so I'd be curious to see what you think after you try it out!
