Tips for Using Maple Sage Spice Rub:

- **Use fresh herbs:** Fresh sage leaves will give your rub the best flavor. If you don't have fresh sage, you can use dried sage, but use half the amount. - **Adjust the heat level:** The amount of cayenne pepper in this rub is adjustable to your taste. If you like more heat, add more cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder rub, use less cayenne pepper or omit it altogether. - **Use a variety of meats:** This rub can be used on chicken, pork, beef, or lamb. It's also great on vegetables, such as roasted potatoes or butternut squash. - **Let the rub marinate:** For best results, let the rub marinate on the meat for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the meat and give it a delicious flavor. - **Cook the meat to your desired doneness:** The cooking time will vary depending on the type of meat and the desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the meat is cooked to your liking.

Maple sage spice rub is a versatile and flavorful rub that can be used on a variety of meats and vegetables. It's easy to make and can be adjusted to your own taste preferences. With its sweet, savory, and slightly spicy flavor, this rub is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
