As you all probably know by now, if a recipe calls for a seasoning mix I head to my pantry not the store. Granted, sometimes I need to purchase a particular item that I don’t have. In this case, it was dried minced onions. I really love making my own seasoning mixes. Most importantly, you know what is going into your food. You have an idea of sodium amount and you can feel safe knowing there is no MSG going into your food! Also, you can smell the each spice as it goes in. This seasoning mix is a great example. Jerk seasoning is very aromatic. You can develop a sense of how your meal will taste as you add the wonderful allspice, thyme, and cinnamon. If you aren’t familiar with how spices work with each other, it’s a great way to learn. As I made this my daughter and I took turns smelling the blend one spice at a time. I love the spice of the cayenne mixed with the rich cloves. Mmmmm. You can add this blend into a marinade or use it as a dry rub on pork, chicken, etc.
