Maple Rub | Limited-edition maple spice blend with lime and pink pepper

Description

Maple Rub is a distinctive spice blend created for BBQ lovers looking for something more than the classic combination of salt, pepper, and paprika.

At the heart of the blend is MapleFarm maple sugar, made from pure Grade A maple syrup sourced from the forests of Québec. Its intense profile brings natural sweetness along with noticeable notes of caramel and nuts. Under heat, the sugar forms a beautiful, aromatic, appetizingly browned crust on the surface of the meat.

The sweetness of maple is balanced by fresh, citrusy lime and subtly spicy, slightly floral pink pepper. The blend is rounded out by black pepper and beechwood-smoked salt, which adds a delicate hint of fire and smoke.

The flavor profile is distinctly sweet, but well balanced. It opens with caramel and nutty notes of maple, followed by the freshness of lime, a gentle floral touch of pink pepper, and a subtle smoky finish.

This is a rub with low heat, so it also works great for people who aren’t fans of very spicy blends.

Roasted holiday ham

Maple’s sweetness pairs beautifully with the salty flavor of ham. During roasting, the rub forms a glossy, caramelized surface and gives the meat a distinctive aroma.

Homemade bacon

A great flavor layer for bacon made at home. Maple sugar helps create a caramelized crust, while the beechwood-smoked salt brings out the meat’s smoky character.

Important: Maple Rub is a spice blend, not a curing salt or a complete curing mix. It does not replace a proper meat-curing process.

Chicken and pork

Perfect for wings, thighs, ribs, pork neck, pork tenderloin, and pulled pork. Works well on the grill, in a smoker, or roasted in the oven.

Fresh, unsmoked salmon

Maple highlights the natural richness of salmon, while lime adds freshness. The rub forms a delicate, sweet-citrus glaze on the fish’s surface – perfect for the grill, a cedar plank, or the oven.

Grilled mortadella

Thick slices of mortadella sprinkled with Maple Rub and briefly grilled make for an unusual but brilliant combination. The heat caramelizes the maple sugar, bringing out the cured meat’s salty, spiced, and nutty notes.

Pat the meat or fish dry, then evenly spread a thin layer of the seasoning. The rub can be applied directly or over a light layer of mustard or oil.

Due to its high natural maple sugar content, it’s best used at moderate temperatures or with indirect grilling. During very high-heat cooking, keep an eye on the surface of the product, as the sugar caramelizes quickly and can burn.
