Famous Recipes - Basic Seasoning Mixture & Black Forest Cookie Mix

Gifts in jars are very popular these days, and with good reason. The layered ingredients are pleasing to the eye, they're typically very affordable, and they can be made weeks or months in advance. Best of all, they show that you care when you give something made with love and attention to detail.

Use this instead of salt on just about anything.

Basic Seasoning Mixture (Salt Substitute)

1/2 cup (60 ml) paprika 1/4 cup (60 ml) garlic powder 1/4 cup (60 ml) onion powder 1/4 cup (60 ml) curry powder 1/4 cup (60 ml) ground celery seed

Mix ingredients together and spoon into small jars with tightly fitting lids. Makes about 1 1/2 cups (375 ml).

These cookies taste just like the familiar cake.
