2 tbsp. mustard seed
Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight jar or container. Use in favorite pickle or pickling recipes.
Poster's Notes:
Additional note from Ruth Baks: I also include dill seeds and black peppercorns in my pickling spice. I would also recommend substituting the ground ginger with small pieces of dried gingerroot. Whole spices are preferred because ground spices can darken the pickling brine and cause it to become cloudy. The cinnamon stick would best be broken up into pieces.
