Pickling Spice
Beyond the Jar While this blend is a champion for traditional cucumbers, its warm, aromatic profile makes it an incredible asset for savory meat preparation and creative preservation. The inclusion of cinnamon bark and allspice provides a deep, nostalgic warmth, while the bay leaves and chili add a necessary savory backbone.
How to Use
The Classic Brine: Add 2 tablespoons per quart of vinegar/water solution. For the best flavor, bring your brine to a boil with the spices first to allow the whole peppercorns and mustard seeds to soften and infuse.
Corned Beef & Pot Roasts: This isn't just for veggies! Use this blend as the primary seasoning in the liquid when slow-cooking corned beef, brisket, or a traditional pot roast.
Boiled Seafood: Add a handful to the water when boiling shrimp or crab for a sophisticated, earthy alternative to standard seafood seasoning.
Perfect Pairings
Vegetables: Cucumbers, green beans, red onions, cauliflower, and carrots.
Proteins: Corned beef, brisket, pork shoulder, and shrimp.
Vinegars: Pairs best with Apple Cider Vinegar for a fruity tang or White Distilled Vinegar for a sharp, classic snap.
Flavor Partners: Fresh dill, garlic cloves, and mustard seeds.
