Dry Rub for Game Birds recipe

This gives extra flavor to dove, quail, pheasant, wild turkey, and other fowl. Adjust ingredients to your own taste or to complement what you're cooking.

2 tablespoons pickling spice, crushed in a
    mortar and pestle or spice mill
1 tablespoon coarsely-ground black pepper
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons white pepper
2 teaspoons dry mustard
2 teaspoons powdered ginger
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 to 8 juniper berries, crushed in a
    mortar and pestle or spice mill

Stir all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Store the rub in a tightly closed jar. It keeps indefinitely but loses its potency over time.

Makes about 1/2 cup.
