Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons celery salt (see note 1)
- 2 tablespoons ground bay leaves (see note 2)
- 1 tablespoon dried mustard
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons sweet paprika or smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg (see note 3)
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom (see note 4)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground mace (see note 5)
Instructions
- In a small jar, add all ingredients and stir to combine. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
Notes
- Celery salt: You can make your own celery salt from oven-dried celery leaves.
- Bay leaf: You want finely ground bay leaf (aka laurel leaf) for this blend. It's pungent and entirely edible. If you're grinding it yourself, make extra, then substitute 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground for every whole bay leaf in future recipes.
- Nutmeg: For the strongest flavor and the longest shelf life, buy the whole nutmeg seed and grate it freshly when needed.
- Cardamom: Purchase it in ground form or buy the small green pods and grind them yourself.
- Mace: Mace is the dried outer coating of the nutmeg pod. It has a warm and woody flavor, somewhere between pepper and cinnamon. If you forgot to find any, use an equal amount of nutmeg as a mace substitute.
- Yield: This recipes makes about 10 tablespoons (1/2 cup + 2 tbsp) Old Bay Seasoning.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
