Good for Slathering: Pork; chicken, turkey, duck; beef; lamb:

It doesn't get any easier than this! And this mop is probably what 90 percent of the competition barbecuers use—with maybe a little beer mixed in for good measure!

Ingredients

Makes about 2 1/2 cups

1 tablespoon yourfavorite dry rub
1 1/2 cups apple juice
1 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons fine-ground sea salt
  1. Step 1

    1. In a medium nonreactive bowl, mix the dry rub with the apple juice, water, and salt until the salt is dissolved.

    Step 2

    2. Funnel into a plastic squeeze bottle or put in a clean glass jar until ready to use. The mop will keep, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. (If you add beer, use the mop the same day.) Shake before using.
