Recipe for "herb-blend-1"

NAME

     HERB-BLEND-1 - A French-style mixture of herbs and seeds
     I found this in some magazine many many years ago. I usually
     make  it every year or so and give it to people as presents.
     The recipients are continually asking either for the  recipe
     or  refills.  This goes well in soups and similar things but
     is especially good in scrambled eggs.

INGREDIENTS (500 ml)

     120 ml    tarragon
     120 ml    chervil
     30 ml     sage leaves
     120 ml    thyme
     30 ml     rosemary
     75 ml     freeze-dried chopped chives
     30 ml     dessicated orange rind
     30 ml     ground celery seed

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Dump everything together and mix until  well  com-
               bined.
          (2)  Pack into small  jars  and  label  (the  now-empty
               spice  jars  that  held the ingredients are a good
               size).

NOTES

     Store in a cool dry  place.  Crumble  spices  in  hand  when
     using.
     Measure spices by volume, not  by  weight,  because  of  the
     large variation in moisture content.

RATING

     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 5 minutes.  Precision:  approximate
     measurement OK.
