    Also this winter I kept my pots of parsley, oregano, sage, and chives outside on the deck they are still growing and green despite our very cold 17° cold chills we had. I can not believe how winter hardy these wonderful spices really are So I really want to encourage everyone to grow their own, it aint' really that darn hard to do!

    Default Poultry Seasoning

    Poultry Seasoning is excellent for homemade stuffing, dressings or for fried chicken. It's a good rub for poultry, mixed into butter and then inserted between the meat and skin of a bird really flavors the meat. I usually use Bells Poultry Seasoning and this is a pretty good recipe for making it homemade.


    1 tablespoon rosemary
    1 tablespoon oregano
    1 teaspoon sage
    1 teaspoon of ginger
    1 tablespoon marjoram
    1 tablespoon thyme
    1 teaspoon pepper

    I recently posted a fried chicken recipe and in the recipe I listed Poultry Seasoning in the ingredient list. Several readers of the recipe were quick to point out that Marjoram is an excellent herb for fried chicken and how I should use it. Knowing whats in a seasoning blend is a good thing.

    1 tablespoon thyme
    1 tablespoon rosemary
    1 tablespoon celery leaves
    1 tablespoon ginger
    1 teaspoon pepper
    1 teaspoon sage

    Mix together well and sprinkle on chicken.


    or another:

    3 teaspoons dry mustard
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    3 teaspoons onion powder
    1 1/2 teaspoons white pepper

    Chili Powder
    Makes 1 cup

    4 large dried mild chili peppers
    2 medium dried hot chili peppers
    4 teaspoons cumin seeds
    1/2 teaspoon whole cloves
    1 teaspoon coriander seeds
    1/2 teaspoon whole allspice
    1/4 cup oregano
    2 tablespoons garlic powder
    1 tablespoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon sugar

    Method:
    Remove stems and seeds from peppers. Cut peppers into small pieces. Place in a heavy skillet. Add cumin, cloves, coriander, and allspice. Over low heat, stirring constantly, cook until mixture begins to crackle and gives off the aroma of the peppers. Cool to room temperature.

    Place pepper mixture in blender. Add oregano, garlic powder, salt, and sugar; blend to a find powder. Spoon into a screw-top jar.

    Use to season eggs, poultry, beef, and lamb.

    I guess I need to go out and buy a chicken or two to try the 2nd recipe with the dry mustard. I will be upset with Mama if I end up eating the whole thing in one sitting.
