Boise Salt Co. Pickling Spice - 4 Ounce Resealable Standup Pouch

Since I discovered this stuff, it's always in my pantry. I love to pickle and this has the best balance of flavors. If I want more heat, I add a few dried Thai chilies. This makes better pickled green beans and pickled asparagus than you'll find in stores, and you'll save $$$ by doing it yourself.

My family list our matriarch in January and we have been struggling to recreate as many of her signature foods and preserve them for future generations. Pickling was something she did for her children and grandchildren many years ago but slowed down over the last 20 years and didn't have the energy for it. We found many recipes and references to 'pickling spice' but nothing with a breakdown of the ingredients to make it. While cleaning up in the garage we found a old grocery bag that had a bag of pickling spice in it! That brand is no longer in existence but the list of ingredients is nearly identical to this blend. I thought my father in law was going to tear up when he got his first smell of this stuff! The family is so excited to get together this weekend and pickle some home grown cucumbers in Grandma Manya's honor. Thank you Boise Salt Co for creating such a quality pickling spice!

great mix excellent flavor. use it every time

I just used it today so I haven't tasted it yet. The smell when I opened the bag was really nice and fresh and I like the packaging. My complaint is, there are no instructions on how to use this product. I had to just wing it and use other recipes that were intended for a homemade spice.

I used a bag as a base for homemade corned beef to which I added other spices. The quality was evident when I opened the package and it was less expensive to buy this mix than each spice individually, even though I wanted to add three more spices. The brine smelled as it should. I was able to brine 8 pounds of flat brisket with one package!

my favorite spice for pickling the spice blend has all the flavors we love.

I typically add a bit more vinegar than the recipe calls for as I like a more vinegary 'bite' to my pickles. Flavor is very subjective, but I like this blend and it makes it easy to do batches of fridge pickles.

I ordered this last minute (for corned beef, anyway) to make my very first corned beef from scratch. It was SO easy and oh, soooo delicious! If you like the stir ought corned beef, immediately order this and a high quality brisket. You will never go back to grocery store corned beef! It had an ever so slight spice in the back of my throat at the end and such delicious, robust flavor. I am looking for new pickling recipes to try this out again!
