Dry Rub for Game Birds 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.
