Citrus Free Herbes de Provence
Making your own spice blends at home is one of those small kitchen habits that pays off every single time you reach for the jar. This fragrant mix of thyme, rosemary, savory, marjoram, oregano, and lavender flowers captures the sun-drenched spirit of southern France in a way that store-bought versions rarely do. For anyone avoiding citrus, pre-packaged seasoning blends can be a minefield — some manufacturers sneak in dried citrus peel or citrus-derived flavor enhancers that have no business being in an herb blend. Here, every ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify, so you know exactly what you're getting. The optional fennel seeds add a gentle anise note that rounds out the floral lavender beautifully without overwhelming the other herbs. Stir everything together, pour it into an airtight jar, and you've got a versatile blend that keeps for up to six months — ready to season roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or a simple vinaigrette whenever inspiration strikes.
