Spice Blend – Chinese Five Spice

Just for my records, can’t keep track of what’s in what and getting confused when people add a blend to a recipe then just call for most of everything in the blend to be added to the recipe separately. Sourced from a post on All Recipes.

Chinese-Style Five Spice Rub

1/4 cup whole star anise pods
5 tablespoons whole cloves
5 tablespoons Szechuan peppercorns
5 tablespoons fennel seed
1/4 cup ground cinnamon

spice mill or with a mortar and pestle to a fine powder. 
Store in a sealed container in a cool dark place until needed.
