You supply the purified water, vinegar, the kosher salt, and the cucumbers, and we'll take care of the rest. This Pickling blend of Whole Spices has everything you need for spectacular pickles. 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.
