Baharat

This seasoning is absolutely amazing.  I recently made a soup in the crockpot of just potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, fresh parsley, water, and Baharat, an Arabian Gulf spice mix.  It was divine.  I'm sure they sell a blend in the store but I had a lot of fun making my own jar of it after powdering the ingredients in a coffee grinder.

For about 2 cups (fits in a small pint-sized canning jar):

- 2 tablespoons ground dried limes (sumac may be substituted)

- 2 tablespoons ground black pepper

- 2 tablespoons ground cumin

- 2 teaspoons paprika

- 2 tablespoons ground coriander

- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

- 1 tablespoon curry powder

- 2 teaspoons ground ginger

- 2 teaspoons ground cloves

- 2 teaspoons ground cardamom

- 2 teaspoons freshly grated nutmeg
