Yield 1 3/4 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 whole limes, scrubbed
1 whole lemon, scrubbed

Tips for Making the Best Homemade Citrus Herb Spice

Use fresh herbs and citrus zest for the best flavor. Dried herbs and store-bought citrus zest can be used, but they won't have the same bright, vibrant flavor as fresh ingredients.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and citrus fruits. There are many different combinations that can create delicious citrus herb spice blends. Some popular herbs to use include rosemary, thyme, oregano, and basil. Some popular citrus fruits to use include lemons, oranges, grapefruits, and limes.
Toast the spices before using them. Toasting the spices will help to release their flavor and aroma. You can toast the spices in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or you can roast them in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
Store the citrus herb spice in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. The spice will keep for up to 6 months.

Conclusion

Citrus herb spice is a versatile seasoning that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It's perfect for grilled chicken, fish, pork, and vegetables. It can also be used to make salad dressings, marinades, and rubs. With so many different ways to use it, citrus herb spice is a must-have in any kitchen.
