💭 Tips & Notes

• Recipe yields approximately 2⅝ teaspoons of seasoning blend that is ideal for seasoning 1 pound of ground pork, beef, lamb, goat, chicken, turkey, or your favorite game meat.
• Mix with your preferred ground meat(or any combo)and make patties, then refrigerate to let the flavors 'marry' or 'bloom' overnight. At least 8 hours makes a huge difference, but up to 24 hours is best.
• For the best shelf life, make sure you are using the freshest herbs and spices available.

🥡 Storing

This spice blend can be stored for a long time in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. However, the freshness will begin to fade after about 6 months, with the flavor of the fennel diminishing first.
