Cajun, Italian and Mexican Spice Seasoning Blends for Canning Tomatoes or Cooking

By



I started added spice blends to my home canned tomatoes a few years ago and have never turned back! I still do some plain too. These blends can be used for canned tomatoes or canned tomato sauce. Leftover spice blends can be used for cooking instead of store bought blends!

Here are the blends from Ball
Italian Spice Blend
Makes about 6 (32 oz) quarts or 12 (16 oz) pints, You will need:
4 tsp basil
2 tsp thyme
2-1/2 tsp oregano
1-1/2 tsp rosemary
1-1/2 tsp sage
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp hot pepper flakes,
optional
Add 2-1/4 tsp of spice blend to each pint jar. If omitting hot pepper flakes, use only 2 tsp.

Mexican Spice Blend
Makes about 6 (32 oz) quarts or 12 (16 oz) pints, You will need:
6 tsp chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp oregano
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp ground coriander
1-1/2 tsp seasoned salt, optional
Add 2-1/2 tsp of spice blend to each pint jar. If omitting seasoned salt, use only 2 tsp.

Cajun Spice Blend
Makes about 6 (32 oz) quarts or 12 (16 oz) pints, You will need:
3 tsp chili powder
2 tsp paprika
1-1/2 tsp onion flakes
1-1/2 tsp garlic powder
1-1/2 tsp ground allspice
1-1/2 tsp thyme
1 tsp cayenne pepper
Add 2 tsp of spice blend to each pint jar.

I will be canning soon using the blends and show you how and the end result! My pantry needs to be stocked for this winter!

    Hi Renee! I like my food seasoned well. They look like they would be very flavorful. Thank you for sharing and have a blessed evening!

    I just seen these spice blends in my Ball book yesterday and made them up. I tried one jar of each to see if we like them. If we do than I will be making/using them again. Great timing!

    My tomatoes for the year are already canned. I usually do plain sauces and flavor them with cooking. I do like the spice blends and I would use them for all kinds of foods as a spice in cooking.

    I must give these a try, especially the Mexican blend. I must get Ball Blue book, it seems as though a lot of recipes are taken from it.

    I like these delicious spice blends and am anxious to try them. Thanks for the great tutorial Renee! ❀️

    What a good idea to pre-blend your spices prior to canning day and also being able to use them for current recipes. That Blue Ball recipe caught my eye. I was hoping to try them this year. You made the prep look so easy. Thanks.

    I don’t normally spice my tomatoes until I open them but this year I’m going to try the Mexican and Italian.

    I love seasoning blends, very handy. You can save a !it of money making your own.
    Up here in Winnipeg, Manitoba…. we have a store called the Bulk Barn, I love that place,
    I can get spices, seasonings, raisin, cranberries, coconut, nuts, you name it….very economic ca!

    Great video Renee I’m making these spice blends up ! No more throwing spices in out of a half dozen spice jars

    Renee! Whoa! SUCH a connection in this video. SuperStar, that is an amazing video. You have inspired everyone to make their favorite spice blends, as well as all the valuable tips for using lesser canning supplies that still have a use in our pantries for short-term use. I could smell the blends because of your descriptions of the flavors.
