About Seasoning Mixes You Can Make Yourself

First, spices don’t last forever, so try to clean out your inventory every once in a while, and use your newest ones in your mixes. Also, you can usually interchange fresh herbs for dried herbs, keeping in mind you’ll want about 3 times the amount of fresh herbs as the recipe calls for in dried herbs. Therefore, 1 Tsp dried herb (5 ml) equals 1 Tbsp (15 ml) fresh herb. However, fresh herbs won’t store in your pantry, so you’ll need to refrigerate them. And lastly, when you prepare and store your seasoning mixes, use airtight containers such as Mason jars with good lids.

I love all of these seasoning mixes you can make yourself! They’re so frugal (and sound so tasty). Which are your favorites?
