I mix it with Olive Oil, spread it in a flat, wide bowl and roll a pork roast through it over and over. I let it sit for awhile, role it some more. Do it on “Roast” in my Wolf Gang Puck mini-electric oven. We serve it with some home made apple sauce, or pear/apricot sauce, and it’s heaven.

I usually do all things in the kitchen myself. However, this blend is so versatile and so yummy that I buy it in bulk! It makes the most fabulous homemade buttermilk ranch dressing. It is, as they suggest, great in eggs. Also wonderful on fish and poultry and on all sorts of vegetables. Love it!!
