Trying a new spice tonight-Masala

I'm kinda tickled.  I bought a spice I've only heard of before-more on it tomorrow.   It's called Masala spice.  For a long time I confused it with Marsala sauce made from Marsala wine.  It's completely different. 
It is like a curry in that it is a combination of several spices I know well.  It has a sweet, cinnamon smell with a touch of cloves while cooking.  It's not ready yet tonight, so I'll critique tomorrow.  I'm making a 5 1/2 pound pork shoulder with it altering from some of my usual preparations.  I also, for Christmas, bought some Veal  Demi Glase (a incredibly rich beef stock created over 20-30 hours of simmering down amazing stock and bones into incredible demi glase-beef stock -extraordinaire additions.)  You don't need to buy the demi glase, but I had it, and wanted to try it in this recipe.  Recipe will go up tomorrow, step by step with pictures.  Thanks for your interest, Christy
