    Making pickles? Make your own Pickling Spice Blends too.

     I think most people buy their "Pickling Spices" already blended, and there's nothing wrong with doing that. Pickling spice blends are not just used for pickling recipes, such as cucumber dill pickles and pickled beets, pickled salmon & pickled herring and pickled eggs. The zesty spice blend is what gives corned beef it's unmistakeable flavor as well as other types of cured meats, like bacon. It livens up certain soups & stews, and various rice dishes and is a necessary component of a classic crab or shrimp boil.

    If you make any of the aforementioned dishes in your home, you might enjoy creating custom pickling spice blends from scratch.

    (I bet you had no idea pickling spice blends were so popular!)
