Serves: 25
 

Ingredients:

2 1/2 pounds mustard seed
2 pounds cayenne pods
2 1/2 pounds common black peppercorns
1 1/2 pounds white peppercorns
1 pound small cloves
3 pounds pimento
1 1/2 pounds Jamaica ginger.
 

Preparation:

An English mixture of whole spices, used for chutneys, pickled fruits and vegetables, and to spice vinegar. The spices can either be tied in a small muslin bag and removed after pickling, or added straight to the vinegar, depending on the type of pickle. Spice merchants have their own versions; here are two given in Law's Grocer's Manual (1950 edition). To make manageable domestic amounts, substitute 25 g (1 oz) or even 15 g (1/2 oz) for each pound
