Comment: the mix is more than two thirds peppercorns: maybe half a cup rainbow, a couple TBSP of white, and between half a TBSP and one and a half TBSP of the other spices. I bought them bulk; the lady at the checkout counter looked at me funny.I used a rainbow peppercorn mix, and added additional white peppercorns, because I like the mild white pepper better than black pepper. I would have added more green or rose peppercorns if I could.
The allspice was hardest to find, and perhaps the most
rewarding. I chose mostly tiny whole allspice berries, and cut the larger ones
in half. Cardamom, caraway and anise fairly important in the mix. The basil,
garlic, celery and pizza peppers don’t do a lot to add to the mixture of what I
was trying to accomplish.
I like it. I think this is going to be my primary “generic
pepper seasoning” for a while.
Load the whole mix in a pepper grinder, and away you go!
