Haven’t tried it myself though
5 tpss ground anise (aniseed)
5 tpss star anise
2 Tbspwhole cloves
1 (5-inch) cinnamon stick (cassia bark)
7 tpss fennel seeds
Using a blender, process all ingredients until finely ground
Store in an airtight jar up to 3 months

Italian Oven Chowder
Italian Oven Chowder
To enjoy this hearty chowder as the Italians do, be sure to include the oysters
4 slices bacon
2 large carrots, sliced 1/2 inch thick
2 medium parsnips, sliced 1/2 inch thick,
cutting larger pieces in half
2 medium onions, cut into thin wedges
3 medium potatoes, chopped
2 (14 1/2 oz) cans reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
2 cups frozen whole kernel corn
1 pint shucked oysters with juice (optional)
Snipped chives or parsley (optional)
In a 4-quart Dutch oven cook bacon until crisp
Remove bacon, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings in the pan
Drain bacon on paper towels; crumble and set aside
Add carrots, parsnips, and onions to Dutch oven
Cook over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes or till brown, stirring occasionally
Add potatoes, chicken broth, garlic salt and pepper
Bring to boiling; reduce heat
Cover and simmer about 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender
(At this point the soup can be cooled, covered, and chilled in the refrigerator overnight
)
In a small mixing bowl stir together melted margarine or butter and flour
Stir flour-margarine mixture, milk, and corn into chowder mixture in Dutch oven
Cook and stir over medium heat until slightly thickened
If desired, add oysters and liquid to soup; heat through
Sprinkle each serving with crumbled bacon and chives or parsley, if desired
