If you’re a foody (yes with a“y”), you probably have a ton of spices and dry herbs in your cupboards. The problem with them is if they’re not used quickly, they will lose their potency. A good way to recycle them is to make your own seasonings and blends.
 
I’ve been making my own seasoning mixes and blends for years. Besides the ones I’ve already posted in the past, here’s another one to add to your list… my Jamaican Jerk Seasoning! This blend is incredibly flavorful! I like to use it for grilled foods like Rotisserie Chicken, Pork Chops, Prawns, Kebabs, etc.
 
I use a variety of spices typically found in Jamaican cuisine like cinnamon, allspice also known as Jamaica Pepper, nutmeg, cloves, etc. When it comes to thyme, you can always use dried leaves but if you’ll be using it as a rub, it’s definitely better using ground thyme instead…
 
This Jamaican Jerk Seasoning is a great one to have in your kitchen especially if you enjoy barbecuing like we do! It’s also a nice way to use up your herbs and spices before they lose their flavor…
Bon Appétit!
