Williams-Sonoma Moroccan Grilling Paste

Sometime in the summer I used a jar of Williams-Sonoma Moroccan Grilling Paste that we received along with a tagine as a gift for our wedding. It was absolutely delicious. Of course, they don't make it anymore and so i am desperately searching for a recipe that i can use to recreate this delicious spice paste. There is a recipe for Moroccan Chicken on the Williams Sonoma website, but one of the main ingredients is Moroccan Slow Cooking sauce, which they no longer seem to carry.

I'm so obsessed with this that i kept the empty jar so that i can try some recipes and then smell the jar to see if i am getting it right. strange i know. I have a list of the ingredients that go into the paste:

honey
preserved lemons
grapeseed oil (for high heat cooking)
lemon juice
garlic
paprika
coriander
cardamom
cinnamon
turmeric
sea salt
cumin
cayenne
black pepper

This recipe and Butter Chicken have defeated me for a while now but I will prevail! (mm just thinking about it makes me hungry).
