Pate Spice Blend

1 Tbs crushed bay leaf

1 Tbs powdered mace
1 tsp ground white pepper
2 tsp Spanish paprika
1 Tbs dried basil
1 1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 c salt
1 Tbs dried thyme
1/2 tsp ground allspice
2 Tbs ground cinnamon
1 Tbs dried rosemary

Mix all ingredients well in a spice grinder, or crush them very well with a mortar and pestle. Sift through a fine mesh sieve and re-grind the remnants which don't pass through the sieve. Continue until everything goes through the sieve. Store in the pantry in a tightly covered jar.
