If you had to cook a pork butt with a sugar-less rub what would you use? Wife is on a sugar restricted diet. No Splenda & no MSG either.

I usually use a mixture of salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder

I like to use Bolner's Fiesta Brand "Texas Style Steak Seasoning" on butt's and CSR's, it's got a good flavor profile and no sugar. It also makes a killer pot of beans.

You could try Stevia for your sugar substitute.

In parts:

3 - kosher salt
3 - black pepper
1 - garlic powder
1 - cayenne

Don't get it in your eyes.. ;) :o
