Substitution, Cook, & Storage Tips
- You can adjust the amount of spice to your seasoning as you desire.
- Be sure that your dried seasonings are NOT expired. Expired seasonings do not go bad necessarily, however they will lack flavor causing your seasoning mix to lack flavor.
- This seasoning mix will keep in your pantry fresh for up to 6 months. It DOES NOT freeze well.
