pickling spice

Preserving jar aromatics

Pickling spice is a blend of whole spices used to flavor pickled vegetables, relishes, and brines.

The mix typically includes mustard seed, coriander, bay leaves, allspice, black pepper, cloves, and cinnamon, though recipes vary.

The spices are left whole or coarsely cracked to infuse flavor without clouding the brine: Add a tablespoon of pickling spice to the jar.
