Substituting fresh spices?!
I hace a recipe that calls for 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, but I only have the jarred spices!. How much should I use!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
the rule of thumb is to use half the amount of dried to the amount of fresh called for so it would be 1/8 tsp of dried nutmeg!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I would use a 1/4 teaspoon, then taste it!.
By nature, the fresh stuff is more potent, so you may need to increase it to 1/2 teaspoon!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
