Notes

Spices

Fresh ground whole spices have more flavor intensity. Be sure to use fresh spices, not ones that have been around for a while! If you are a big fan of cloves, use ones in your pantry and grind them into powder for this recipe.

Grinding Spices

You can take any whole spices in your pantry and grind them in a coffee grinder for homemade seasoning blends. Simply wipe out after and grinding each individual spice.

Nutmeg is easy to grind with a Microplane or a good nutmeg grinder.
