Santa's Secret - Christmas Rub with Warming Spices from Widowmakers BBQ

Santa's Secret is a Christmas rub from Widowmakers BBQ that combines classic Christmas spices with a BBQ profile. The base consists of cumin, cardamom, cinnamon, and nutmeg, which provide a warm and aromatic tone, while coriander, bay leaf, and a hint of orange add freshness and depth. Cayenne pepper and mustard provide a slight warmth that balances the sweetness from sugar and paprika.

The spice is developed for the Christmas table but works just as well throughout the winter season. It is particularly good on Christmas ham, where it provides a deeper and more complex flavor than traditional mustard crust. On duck, turkey, and ribs, it adds aromatic warmth, and on oven-roasted vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and sweet potatoes, it brings out the sweetness of the ingredients.

How to Use Santa's Secret

As a rub, apply a generous layer over Christmas ham, pork collar, chicken, or duck breast. Massage the spice mix in thoroughly and let it sit for at least an hour, preferably longer in the refrigerator, before oven baking or grilling. The spice creates a nice surface and spreads a wonderful scent in the kitchen.

To make a marinade, mix Santa's Secret with a little oil, orange juice, and a splash of apple cider vinegar. Brush on pork, duck, or root vegetables and let it marinate for at least an hour for a festive base flavor that glazes beautifully during cooking.

Santa's Secret also works in cold sauces and dips. Stir the spice into sour cream, yogurt, mayonnaise, or crème fraîche for a dip with notes of cinnamon and cardamom. Suitable for vegetable sticks, chips, Christmas ham, and cold cuts. Let it sit in the refrigerator for a while before serving.

In addition to cooking, you can use Santa's Secret to spice apple pie, mulled wine, and hot chocolate for an unexpected festive twist.
