Homemade Chili Seasoning

How many times have you started a recipe and realized you were out of a specific seasoning? It has happened to me more than once, so I soon realized that I could simply make my own seasonings. This nice thing about that is that you can control everything to make it perfect for your own taste needs. Once you have a batch made, it will store well for months as long as you find a good airtight container.

Glass vs. Plastic Storage for Seasonings and Spices

An airtight glass container will extend the shelf-life of your seasonings and spices longer than an airtight plastic container. Glass is less porous, so less air can enter the container which can damage spices. A lid of a glass container also gives a tighter seal. Also, keep light exposure to your spices to a minimum, especially if you do not store them in a cabinet. This chili seasoning should last up to 6 months.

  1. Question…. How is this making chili powder when one is literally adding chili powder to the mix? Would this then not be a chili blend?
