spice essentials: spicy awesome dill shake
I love the taste of a good dill pickle, the snap, the tang… that sour tastes that hits you on the sides and back of your tongue… yum. I wanted the ability to duplicate that taste on other things like veggies, chicken, fish… The lot I could not really get what I was after until I added one obvious ingredient. Vinegar powder… This stuff is awesome. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

Step 3If stored correctly (good container, tight-fitting lid, cool, dark place), this spice should last 8 – 10 months, or longer.
