French herb blend

Yield: 2 cups

Measure Ingredient
½ cup Tarragon
½ cup Chervil
2 tablespoons Sage leaves
½ cup Thyme
2 tablespoons Rosemary
5 tablespoons Chives (freeze-dried), chopped
2 tablespoons Orange rind, desiccated
2 tablespoons Celery seed, ground

Dump everything together and mix until well-combined. Pack into small jars and label (the now-empty spice jars that held the ingredients are a good size). Store in a cool dry place. Crumble spices in hand when using. Measure spices by volume, not by weight, because of the large variation in moisture content.

NOTES:

* A French-style mixture of herbs and seeds -- I found this in some magazine many many years ago. I usually make it every year or so and give it to people as presents. The recipients are continually asking either for the recipe or refills. This goes well in soups and similar things but is especially good in scrambled eggs.

: Difficulty: easy.

: Time: 5 minutes.

: Precision: approximate measurement OK.
