Directions:
Directions:
Keep spices in tightly covered containers, in a cool dry place. After about a year, spices tend to lose flavor so more may be needed for seasonings. Overheating can cause spices to turn bitter. During lengthy cooking, add spices during the last half hour of cooking time. Usually 1 teaspoon of dried herb equals 1 tablespoon of fresh.
