     Title: My Basic Pickling Spice
Categories: Herbs, Preserving
     Yield: 2 1/2 cups

   1/2 c  Mustard seed
   1/4 c  Coriander seed
   1/4 c  Fennel seed
   1/4 c  Whole allspice berries
   1/4 c  Whole cloves
   1/4 c  Dill seed
   1/4 c  Celery seeds
   1/4 c  Cinnamon sticks; crushed
   1/4 c  Black peppercorns; cracked
     2 tb Dried ginger; coarse chopped
     3    Dried red chilies; crushed
     6    Dry California bay leaves;
          - crushed

 Blend all the ingredients together by placing them in
 a jar, adding a lid and shaking them well.

 NOTE: I usually whizz the bay leaf, ginger, cinnamon
 and the chilies in the R2-D2 spice/coffee grinder.

 Add a label with the date and list the ingredients.

 Store the spice in a cool dark place for up to 12 months.
 Or refrigerate. For really long-term storage use the
 freezer compartment of your ice box.
