DIY - Seasoning Spice Jars

It's aaaaaa' spicy meeeataaaballl! Ok, maybe not. These little jars of joy are actually home crafted seasonings. Jerk, BBQ and Cajun. Good right? 

They were a little DIY gift for my super special pal. The dude loves chicken, and when he's actually home and has a bit of time to play with, he likes to rustle up some right tastey shiz. 

But ya see the thing with seasoning is that though the little pot marked 'cajun' you grabbed off Sainsbury's spice rack a while back is tasty, it's not as full of flavour as it could be. It's not got the laaaayers. (DONKEY!)  Each of these seasonings has a number of spices that, when combined in just the right quantities, get all sexy with each other on a bunch of levels and create a down right naughty array of wickedness in your pie hole!

These 'recipes', if you can call them that, are an accumulation of various ones I found on the net that I mashed together to get the kind of flavours I was after. The jars I found in Wilco for a few quid each and the little tags I made with a trusted label maker and some crafty bits and bobs. 

YAY! Get miiiiiixing pals!
