2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cayenne

Preparation

1 In a 1/3- to 1/2-cup tall, narrow clear jar, layer the following, contrasting light layers with dark: paprika, coriander, cumin, pepper, cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, and cayenne. 2 To use, shake jar or stir spices until blended. Rub onto poultry, vegetables, pork, or beef, and roast or barbecue. 3 This recipe yields about 6 tablespoons. 4 Comments: Layered in clear jars, this seasoning blend shows off the natural hues of its ingredients. Each layer, however, contributes its own personality to the mix. 5 Tie on a tag or glue on a label with suggestions for how to use the seasoning mixture, as noted with the recipe. All the cook needs to do is give the bottle a shake or stir. If you want to make larger amounts, simply multiply the ingredients. 6 Yield: 6 tablespoons
