What is Pickling Spice?<\/h2>\n

Pickling spice is a mix of savory dried spices that are used to flavor pickling brine. When food is pickled, it is preserved in brine that infuses its flavor into the food over time.<\/p>\n

You can purchase pickling spice<\/a> at the store, but if you do a lot of picking, it makes sense to make your own using fresh ingredients. Plus you can customize it to your liking.<\/p>\n

You can also grow some of the ingredients in your garden. I let celery, dill, mustard, and cilantro plants go to seed every year, so I can gather a fresh supply. I also dry lots of peppers to use whole, or crushed into red pepper flakes.<\/p>\n
