 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
      1/2  cup           dark or light brown sugar
    3      tablespoons   salt
    3      tablespoons   black pepper
    3      tablespoons   chili powder

 I adapted this rub from a recipe by my good friend Chris Schlesinger. His
 version is in his book The Thrill of the Grill, which he wrote with John
 Willoughby. I have altered the quantities of the ingredients to suit my own
 tastes. This is an excellent all-purpose rub for chicken, fish, pork, beef,
 or lamb, and can also be a breading for deep-frying. Sprinkle in into the
 batter for deep-fried zucchini, onion rings, or mushrooms. Wow! for a
 basting sauce or marinade, I add soy sauce, vinegar, and water.
 
 In the top half of a double boiler set over simmering water, combine all
 the ingredients. Cook for about 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or so,
 until the sugar begins to melt and the mixture thickens. Remove from the
 heat and let the mixture cool to 100 degrees F.
 
 Pass the mixture through a sifter. Use immediately or store in a cool, dark
 place for several months.
