Spice Up Your Holidays!
with Jerrod Janakus
Whether you adhere to traditional recipes or like to take your own unique flavor path for your holiday feast, we have seasonings to spice up classic and creative dishes. Here are some of our favorites:
| The Turkey |
 Brine It: Brining a turkey is the best way to keep it juicy and flavorful for a holiday meal. Soaking the turkey in a solution of water, sugar, and salt helps diminish some the moisture loss that naturally happens when the turkey spends the day in the oven. Adding seasoning to the mixture helps infuse flavor into the bird while it soaks and also while it roasts.With a little planning and a jar of Savory Spice Shop’s Citrus & Savory Brining Spice Ready Mix, brining a holiday turkey (or goose, duck, chicken, or pork) is a breeze. Rub It: Take your holiday turkey flavor even further by rubbing the bird before roasting with one of our favorite holiday poultry rubs: Tiny Town Turkey Rub The aroma and flavors of this turkey rub evokes memories of traditional family holiday meals. Nantucket Herb & Citrus Poultry Rub The herb and citrus combination of this blend imparts a flavorful brightness to any poultry dish. Gold Coast Tropical Poultry Rub Take your turkey to tropics! The citrus and pepper in this rub are balanced by authentic island flavors of ginger and allspice. |
