Servings: 10. The combination of a vegetable (or fruit), a vinegar and pickling spice comprise the picklerâs palette. But it is perhaps the pickling spiceâthe unique and flavorful mix of herbs and spices added to the brineâthat plays the most creative and distinctive role.ickling spice is a bit like barbecue sauce; everyone has a personal style and preference of taste. You can purchase pickling spice blends at the store or make your own. For an aromatic approach, you might include as many as 6 or 8 spicesâsuch as whole allspice, peppercorns, dill and mustard seeds and bay leaves.
