Frontier Co-opOrganic Pickling Spice 1lb

I brined my own 16.5 lb corned beef with this and let me tell you it was incredible!!! I’m tempted to buy more and freeze it just to make sure we can get it next St Patrick’s day it was that good. I was hesitant because of the cinnamon but it added such depth to the flavor. I can’t imaging using anything else after using this. Will use for our turkey as well. Ooohhh wait!! Maybe I’ll try chicken too!

making sweet pickles, i ran out of mccormicks pickling spice & couldnt find any locally or online, so purchased this brand for availability, quick delivery, price, & reviews. brand has dill & celery seed (😑)...& i think i used too much. i added more cinnamon to offset those. hv used n chicken salad & was very good. i would recommend...use sparingly in pickles!

I emailed company to ask where the spices are sourced from, they were very professional and replied the following below...Company Reply:"...I have listed below a list of all of the ingredients along with the country of origin.

I use this for corned beef and two Portuguese recipes from Madeira: soupish and vingadoge. Takes all of them up a notch.

I can't justify a 4-star rating for a couple reasons: 1st, I'm a novice and need to try other products; 2nd, even if I thought there were too much clove and cinnamon, I got rave reviews when sharing pickles with co-workers. The only reason I might have given it a 4 star is that my wife didn't like the flavor.5-star because the final product turned out very well; I added extra hot peppers, dill, and garlic. 5-star because it's organic; I know "organic" means many things, but I like the effort put into growing something without a lot of genetic engineering or strong chemicals. [Product that doesn't say "organic" would suit my needs if I know they faithfully eliminate afore mentioned items.]

Pickling spices are a little hard to find in the big city I live in - I guess people don't do much home pickling here. And when they are available it is often 5 bucks for a little 2 ounce jar. Frontier & Amazon provided me with a solution to this problem with this product. The bag will give you enough spice for many batches, and to share with people, but it has a shelf life of a couple of years - and the taste is good, if nothing out of the ordinary.

First time ever making fermented veggies and this spice is one of the greatest things I have smelled in a long time. It gives slightly bitter (which I like), taste and a wonderful aroma to the cucumbers and red cabbage I experimented on. Next project, baby carrots and yellow squash...with a little less spice added in. This was my first time doing it so I went overboard and still didn't screw it up. Suggest you use a little less than recommended for a milder taste.

We love making our own pasture-raised grass fed corned beef and this spice combo is the best. Even better than my own spice mix. I didn't know if I should trust my expensive meat to a new spice mix but I am so glad I did. This is my new standard. It's a beautiful blend of all the right spices.
