  2. Made this when I canned the Puerto Rican Black Beans which are 5 star!!!! Had some left over so I did your suggestion and put that in an ice cube tray, froze them then popped them out into a freezer bag for future seasoning my recipes. So today used a cube in my home canned chicken soup . .OH YEA!!! thanks for the recipe it’s awesome and I will always keep some in my freezer now.
