Salt-Free Pickling Spice Blend

Danielle D. started Flour & Herbs in 2020 in Murrieta, California, with a bread mix she wanted to share with home bakers. Years of experimenting with bread, herbs and spices led her to make seasonings and food gifts for the same meals she liked to serve to friends. The woman-owned business mixes in small batches and makes its blends without fillers.

This salt-free pickling spice combines whole and broken herbs and spices, including mustard seed and pepper. It brings warm seasoning to pickles, slow-cooked meats and other recipes where the spices can steep.

Serving and storage

Follow a tested recipe when canning or pickling. The spice blend is used for flavor, and the recipe still determines the amounts of vinegar, water and any canning or pickling salt.

Try the blend in a pot roast or brisket recipe where the spices can steep in the liquid. If the recipe calls for a removable spice bag, use one to keep whole seeds out of the finished sauce. Whole spices can also add a warm note to a liquid that will be strained before serving.

When using this blend with pickles, keep the spice additions separate from the recipe’s measured brine ingredients. The vinegar, salt and water ratios determine how a tested recipe works. Follow the recipe’s instructions on the handling and removal of whole spices. A spice bag makes it easier to remove pieces from a liquid if the recipe calls for straining.

For more background, see tested pickling guidance from the National Center for Home Food Preservation.

Flour & Herbs advises keeping dry seasonings closed in a cool, dry cupboard away from heat and sunlight. Use a clean, dry spoon for measuring and close the lid after each use. Follow the date and any specific storage instructions on the package.
