Did you know you can make your own pantry ingredients? Start with my all-purpose blend, homemade garlic powder, everything but the bagel seasoning, and then dip your toe into canning with canning diced tomatoes.

Substitutions
If your grocery store does not carry superfine sugar, you can place regular white granulated sugar in a food processor or coffee grinder and pulse until very fine.
Powdered sugar is NOT the same as superfine sugar and should not be used in place of superfine sugar for this recipe. Powdered sugar contains a small amount of an anticlumping agent.
You can use fine salt in place of table salt.
How To Make Homemade Seasoned Salt
- Combine all ingredients in a small measuring bowl and mix until well combined.
Storage Tips
Store in an airtight container or closed spice jar, in the dry place, so it doesn't loses its potency. Keep it away from heat and light so the seasoning salt can last for up to 2 months.
