We use the sweetest cracked cassia bark, lots of sweet cloves and allspice berries along with hand-broken star anise to add a warm sweetness to our pickling spice mix, while pepper, mustard seeds, dill seeds, and juniper add a savory tang. Use 2 teaspoons per quart jar for pickles or use this spice blend for other vegetables like onions, beets, green beans, or even pickled eggs. Ingredients: Mustard, dill, bay leaf, ginger, allspice, pepper, cloves, star anise, coriander, cinnamon, juniper, mace, chiles, cardamom.

Very fresh & flavorful, more so than other brands!
Due to health issues and being disabled I have missed having pickles for decades. But I remembered making my own refrigerator pickles using no no salt, or refined sugar while pregnant in 1968-1969. I found a source for English pickles - the long slender type - and used your wonderful pickling spices to make three pints. They were great. I just re-ordered a larger 8 ounce bag to continue enjoying pickles again after so many years.
Pickled some cayenne chiles with this spice mix. Lots of taste. Didn't affect the hotness of the chiles one bit!
Made great kosher dill pickles
I bought these last year and was surprised how they made a difference in my pickled beets. This year I pickled garlic scapes, spring onions and pickles using your spice mix. I got rave reviews and won’t use any other again!
