There are a ton of things that I eventually want to make; like my own ketchup from scratch, or sandwich bread and jam. Today it is lemon-pepper. I needed some for a recipe so I set out to make it myself. How hard could it be? Have you ever made your own lemon pepper seasoning?

Am I the only freak who would? Just yummy lemony-peppery-flavory. Start with a lot of lemons, pepper and salt! Now I know four are pictured but I added the zest of another lemon.

Now if you want more lemon than pepper reduce the amount of pepper or increase the lemon zest. I probably should have measured it all out for you. But it depends on the size of the lemons you are using. So I say between 5 and 7 lemons. Spread it out and bake at the lowest setting until the zest is completely dried. I checked on it every now and again and give it a toss. Spread it back out and back into the oven it goes. You can either add the salt now or not.

Just keep in mind if you like to control your salt, you may want to skip this step. And if you give this recipe a try, let me know! Snap a photo and tag me on twitter or instagram!

How long does it keep? There looks like alot. I knew there would be another freak out there who would want to make home-made lemon pepper!!!! This is exactly what I was looking for, and I had an idea it would be that easy. I like your style, thanks! PS: homemade ketchup is so easy and delicious; the only hard part would be if you wanted to can it instead of making it as needed. I have been making my own lemon pepper seasoning for years.

I wait until lemons go on sale. I zest while watching TV. My ratio is about 4 parts lemon zest to 1 part pepper. I never add salt. That is. I was just getting ready to order lemon pepper and decided to Google first to see if I could make my own and voila, here you are!
