French Aromatic Seasoning

Mix 1/4 ounce each of thyme, bayleaves, and laurel, sweet marjoram, and rosemary. Dry these in the oven, and reduce to powder. Add 1/2 ounce each of powdered nutmeg and cloves, a teaspoonful of black pepper, and as much salt. When all are well mixed, sift, and put into bottles closely corked, for use. A pinch of this improves the flavor of soups, entrees, sauces, etc., when fresh herbs are not at hand.
