1969912 0 #2 August 16, 2007 I use a lot of spices for Indian food. Try some health food stores; lot's of them have bulk spices in big jars, usually for ~1/10 the grocery store price. Whole, unground spices are best. Grind with a cheapo coffee grinder. Could you post your jerk recipe, please? EDIT: I had a ziplock baggie full of whole allspice sitting on the kitchen table onece. The next morning the bag was shredded, and the stuff was all over the house. My cats go nuts over allspice!

karenmeal 0 #6 August 17, 2007 I buy all my spices in bulk. It's waaaaay cheaper that way. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
