Chef Tips

If you can’t find pickling spices at the store, the basic spices in most commercial blends are:

Bay leaves, black, white or green peppercorns; and mustard seeds.

To fine-tune the flavors you can add allspice berries; whole cloves, dill seeds, ground ginger – I could go on. The sky’s the limit. It all depends on what you’re in the mood for. Start out with the basics and take it from there.
