Make Your Own Old Bay Seasoning Clone

Gone Frugal Old Bay Seasoning Clone Old Bay is a versatile,  delicious seasoning blend but if you are like me and have an overly stocked spice cabinet, why not make it yourself?  In my case I have an ulterior motive; I am allergic to ginger and when I make my homemade Old Bay Seasoning recipe from scratch I can adjust the ingredients to my taste.

This is truly simple, so give it a shot!

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons ground bay leaves
5 teaspoons celery salt
3 teaspoons ground mustard seed
3 teaspoons black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground mace
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon red pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Add all ingredients to a lidded container (an old spice jar works great) and shake well.

HINT: To make ground bay leaves, just put whole leaves in a clean coffee grinder / spice grinder.

    I think that is the great part about all of these “clone” recipes – you can adjust the ingredients for allergies as well as nutritional value, not just personal taste. It can make guilty pleasures a lot less guilty. :-)
