Pickling Spice

Pickling spice is one of those ingredients you can buy already put together in the store or you can make your own! If you're like me and like making everything from "scratch" head to your local supermarket and pick up the ingredients below! Pickling spice is just a bunch of herbs and spices mixed together to preserve and flavor foods. It can be used in brines or marinades for meat and also for pickling fruits, veggies or eggs. You can also just use it as a seasoning!

• 2 tbsp peppercorns
