The rub was great. I didnt mind the salt b/c we all like a lot of salt at my house. Of course i did not use nearly all of the rub. There is a good bit of it left for another day. The sauce, i thought would be like my own but it was not. Not even close. None of us liked it. I'll stick with my sauce but use that rub again.

Loved it!!! My husband was in heaven!!! This was by far the best pork roast I have had in a while, and then used it for ribs for Labor Day.

For all of those who thought this had too much salt: please read & review the entire recipe before making/posting. The recipe for House Seasoning is in addition to the original Smoked Pork Ribs recipe. It is included for reference so you can then "rub [the ribs] thoroughly with House Seasoning" per the rib recipe instructions. DO NOT use all the house seasoning that the recipe makes. Seriously people - do not give a recipe a bad rating because you cannot read or comprehend a recipe. Please use common sense.




Use your head please

The fact that you use Paula's house seasoning does not mean you have to use it all. Please use you head, this is a recipe to store the seasoning for monhts if need be, not to use it all in one sitting.




Too Salty

I followed the rub recipe, but felt 1 cup of salt was too much for this recipe, so I reduced it to 1/2 of a cup. My wife and I bit into the ribs and our taste buds were overwhelmed by the salt. Paula Dean... You steered me wrong!!!! Next time I cook ribs, I will cut back on the salt even more.

not good

The basting sauce had a good taste, but the house seasoning was so over powering that we could not even eat the ribs. All you could taste was salt & garlic powder. I did not even use as much as it called for. I thought 1cup of salt seen to be to much.




Paula, what the hell is this?!

Just made the ribs. Had my reservations about the amount of salt used, so I decided to reduce it by half. Couldn't even finish the meal. I would never serve this to anyone. I chose this because it was created by Paula, but I don't know what to think anymore. Sure it can look good, but man, that was aweful. Gordon Ramsey would have your head for this.




Unbelievably delicious

I made this recipe for today (Fathers Day) and had 10 people over for ribs. Everyone raved about them and I was so amazed how delicious they were. Everyone wanted to take home some left-overs and we can't wait for dinner tomorrow night. Definitely a winner!




Looked good, tasted awful!

Way way way way too salty!!! I cut down on the salt as I have used Paula's "house seasoning" before and it was still overpowering. The vinegar mix was not very flavorful either. This was just disappointing. I would go with another recipe.




wonderful!
