How to store pork rib seasoning

Store this simple pork rib rub recipe in an airtight container, zip-loc bag, or spice jar for a few months. It will be better if stored in a cool dark corner of your spice drawer or cupboard.

Also, label the container with the date you made the pork rub as well as the name of the spice so you know what it is and when it was made.

How long does this homemade pork rib rub recipe last?

Assuming that the spices used are fresh and won’t soon expire, homemade pork rib seasoning will last up to 6 months if stored properly.

Therefore, I recommend using up this rib rub before 6 months since spices begin to lose their freshness around the 6-month mark.  That way, you’ll always have the freshest and most flavorful spice mixes for your recipe.
