Notes
The one thing to remember is that all the ingredients need to be fine granules and almost the same size.
For example, the first time I made a batch of homemade seasoning salt, I used a coarse Kosher salt that was much larger than the other spices. When I added the seasoning salt to my dish, it was tough to distribute the spices evenly, and the dish became too salty.
For best results, make sure your spices are about the same size, or use a spice grinder or mortar and pestle as needed to help break them down before adding them to the spice jar.
Seasoning salt lasts a long time, but like other spices, it will eventually go bad. Store in an airtight container for 6 to 12 months. Basically, look at the dates on the spices used and go by the more recent date among the spices.
