What does this pickling spice blend contain and how will it affect flavor?
McCormick’s pickling spice mixes warm, bright, and aromatic spices — think peppery, citrusy, and slightly sweet notes — to enhance vegetables and proteins without overpowering them. It’s formulated to provide a balanced, classic pickling profile straight from the jar.
- Balanced combination of whole and ground spices for layered aroma
- Brightens brines with pepper and citrus-like accents
- Adds warmth and complexity to pickled vegetables and sauces
- No artificial colors, flavors, or added MSG for clean labeling
How do I use McCormick Pickling Spice in recipes?
Sprinkle the spice directly into hot brines, simmer it with vinegar and water, or add a sachet when canning to infuse flavor during processing. It’s also great as a seasoning for roasted vegetables, slow-cooked meats, or homemade chutneys when you want a pickling-inspired taste.
- Use 1–2 tablespoons per quart of pickling liquid as a starting point
- Tie in cheesecloth for easy removal after simmering
- Add a spoonful to braises or pot roasts for added depth
- Two 1.5 oz jars keep you stocked for multiple batches
Will this work for canning and refrigerated pickles?
Yes — the blend is suitable for both quick refrigerator pickles and traditional water-bath canning recipes. For canning, use the spice in your tested recipe and follow safe processing guidelines; for refrigerator pickles, simmer the spice in the brine and cool before pouring over vegetables.
- Compatible with tested home-canning vinegar-brine recipes
- Ideal for refrigerator pickles when strained or used in a sachet
- Consistent flavor across batches thanks to McCormick’s blend standard
- Two-pack helps when preserving multiple jars or recipes
Who is this for?
