Bacon Rub

[piker]

i just found some bacon rub very well sealed in a jar and I was wondering if it is still useable. Iused individual spices that were old with no problem before . Theses are about a year old they look and smell and taste alright. Any comments. Thanks Piker

I know that sometimes older spices loose a little of their flavor, but I still use them.
I make large batches of my rub & store it in mason jars. I'm sure that I have used some that is over a year old.

Thanks for the reply. I was not really thinking as all the spices I have are at least one year old so there will be no difference. Piker

I use whole spices and grind as needed bc they lose flavor after grinding and storing in spice cabt. I buy whole spices and vac. pak what I am not using at time.If you like to make sausage you use a lot of spices.
