Storage

Store your homemade Cajun seasoning blend in an airtight container, like a small mason jar, and keep it in a cool, dry place away from heat and light. For the best flavor, use it within about 6 months, but dried spices can stay fresh for up to a year or more. Be sure to give the jar a good shake before each use to redistribute the spices.
