Bring bright acidity and a warm savoury finish to homemade preserves with this pickling spice blend. It is a handy cupboard staple for small jars, seasonal batches and anyone buying bulk pickling spice for regular preserving.

• A light kick from chilli and black pepper
• Herbal richness from bay leaf and ginger

How to use pickling spice in jars, brines and chutneys

For a simple pickle, simmer vinegar, water, salt and a spoonful of this pickling spice blend, then pour the liquid over prepared vegetables. Strain the brine if you want a cleaner finish, or leave a little spice behind for a bolder result. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste.

Best ingredients to pair it with

• Pickled onions, beetroot and cucumbers
• Cauliflower, carrots and peppers in brine
• Chutneys, relishes and piccalilli-style preserves

Why customers choose bulk pickling spice

If you preserve throughout the year, bulk pickling spice is an easy way to stay stocked without buying tiny jars again and again. It keeps the pantry ready for seasonal produce and works well when you want a reliable flavour across multiple batches.

More ways to use homemade pickling spice

This homemade pickling spice mix also works outside the preserving pot. Try it in infused vinegars, quick brines, savoury marinades or roasted vegetables when you want extra depth without extra effort.

Easy kitchen ideas

• Steep in cider vinegar for tangy pickles
• Add to chutney recipes for extra warmth
• Use in brines for a richer savoury note

How it compares with single spices

A ready-made pickling spice blend saves measuring time and gives a more even result than using separate spices one by one. It is a practical option when you want repeatable flavour across every batch.

Allergen Information

As a bulk foods store, despite maintaining a Five-Star Food Hygiene rating, the presence of allergens cannot be fully eliminated. Sacks of products containing allergens are opened and closed daily as we scoop and refill our shop dispensers. We use separate scoops for each product and store each product in its own container or original sack — however, products containing allergens are not stored or packed in a self-contained area.

This means all products may contain traces of allergens due to cross-contamination.

Where a product is indicated as free from a particular allergen, this means it has not been formulated from or wholly derived from that ingredient. Allergen handling procedures are in place throughout our supply chain to minimise the risk of cross-contamination, but this cannot be guaranteed.

If you have a severe food allergy, please contact us before ordering so we can advise whether our products are suitable for you.
