I use Old Bay in more than just Crab Cakes so I like to mix up my own so I know exactly what is in the mix.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons crushed bay leaves
  • 2 tablespoons celery seed
  • 1 tablespoon dry mustard, if prefer coleman's
  • 2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons ginger powder
  • 2 teaspoons paprika, sweet mild
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
  • 1 teaspoon allspice, ground
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, ground

How To Make my old bay seasoning

  • Step 1
    Combine all ingredients in an airtight jar, mix thoroughly. I like to give it a twirl in the food processor just to make it a bit finer powder. Keep sealed until ready to use.
  • Step 2
    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
