Ingredients
2 tablespoons
mustard seed
1 tablespoon
whole allspice
2 teaspoons
coriander seeds
2
whole cloves
1 teaspoon
ground ginger
1 teaspoon dill seed
1 teaspoon
dried red pepper flakes
1 bay leaf, crumbled
1 cinnamon stick (2 inches)
Mix all ingredients until well-blended and store in an airtight container in a cool dark place.
Note: Ground spices tend to make the brine a little cloudy. If this bothers you, use a small piece of ginger root in your recipe instead.
