I think there is too much clove in this. Other recipes only have 1/8 tsp of cloves and this one tastes too strongly of cloves2Reply

I have a Chinese(Szechuan)peppercorn bush/shrub(very thorny)in my ornamental garden. This year it produced an abundance of the red peppercorns, so I dried some in my solar dehydrator and ground them with rock salt(Himalayan, Brazilian Sea Salt and Kosher). The flavor is fantastic and we use it in just about everything now. I even sprinkled some on my popcorn.2Reply

This is similar to my recipe but I use double the amount of Szechuan pepper and 1 1/2 times the amount of fennel seed.1Reply
