FIREHOUSE HOT CHILI POWDER

6 tbsp paprika
2 tbsp turmeric
1 tbsp dried chili peppers
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp cayenne
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cloves

Mix all ingredients and grind to a fine powder using a mortar and pestle, or food processor or blender.

Spice will keep 6 months or so on the pantry shelf.

TO USE:
This powder is somewhat more pungent and fresher tasting than a packaged brand, so use a bit less.
