How do you store homemade seasonings?
Spice blends should be stored in an airtight container in a cool dry environment (like an air conditioned house).
Do not store them in the refrigerator as they will condensate when you bring them out and it can cause clumping.
How long does spaghetti seasoning last?
Dried spice blends theoretically last forever, but will begin to lose flavor potency after about 6 months. Check your spice labels and make sure not to use out-of-date spices.
