Pickling Spice *

Use this handy spice mix where-ever a recipes calls for “pickling spice”. I like to use it a lot in my lacto-fermenting….especially pickles, whether they be the sweet or dilly kind.

• 1 Tablespoon black peppercorns
• 1 Tablespoon mustard seeds
• 1 Tablespoon coriander seeds
• 1 Tablespoon hot red pepper flakes
• 1 Tablespoon allspice berries
• 1 tablespoon whole cloves
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground mace
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon celery seed

Combine all spices in a small jar or other container. Store in tightly sealed in a cool-dark place.
