How to Make Corned Beef Pickling Spice
- Crush the peppercorns, mustard, and coriander seeds.
- Chef’s Tip: My favorite way to crush spices, is to put them on my cutting board, and grind them using the bottom of a heavy pot or pan.
- Place the ground seeds into a pan, and heat over medium heat until fragrant, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Chef’s Note: Be careful not to let them burn.
- Allow them to cool.
- Add all the other spices, and then place in a sealed container, until ready to use.
- Store in a cool dry environment.
- Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
