This was adapted from Aliza Green from Field Guide to Herbs & Spices. A little different from the recipes already here. Traditionally, this seasoning is used for steamed crabs, but is now used for fish, potato salad, potatoes, and other vegetables. This would also make a great gift, along with some recipes! Enjoy!

1/2 cup (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 tablespoons bay leaf powder
2 tablespoons celery salt
1 tablespoon dry mustard
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons sweet paprika (smoked paprika is even better if you can find it!)
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground mace
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

1
Combine all ingredients in an airtight jar, mix thoroughly.
2
Keep sealed until ready to use.
3
To give as a gift, place in a pretty jar, along with some recipes. This would look nice in a basket, maybe with some measuring spoons, and ingredients for one of the recipes you give. Enjoy!

I have never bought OldBay Seasoning b/f but have seen many recipes that call for it. So, since I have most of these spices on my shelf, thought I would tag this recipe and give it a go. Used it in Easy Tuna Pot Pie. I could definitely tell w/the spice coming thru nicely. I'll be curious to see what else I can add this too as I'm sure it would go well w/any pork or beef. Thanks Sharon for a keeper in my spices cook-book! Tagged for Regional TagGame~

I've never tried the store-bought stuff, so don't have anything to compare it with, but it sure smelled wonderful!! And I used a small amount of it for a fish 'n chips recipe, and the fish was AWESOME!!! So it must've worked!! LOL! Thanks so much!!! Made for the ZWT4

I made this for Zaar World Tour III - I can't seem to find Old Bay Seasoning in my area (I live in Australia) so I made this copycat. The aroma is very strong and I made it in no time. Thank you Sharon123

I made this to cook some recipes for ZWT III in Australia where Old Bay Seasoning isn't available so can't comment on how close it is to the original, but sure was a great combination! A lot of the herbs and spices I had available were whole so I ground in a mortise and pestle.
