Pickling 101 with Oh! Pickles

Bazaar Spices was excited to offer its first Pickling Basics class with Arondo Holmes of Oh Pickles, former neighbor at Union Market, who can now be found at several well-known farmers markets across the DMV area including at the Ronald Reagan Building and USDA markets. In late summer, Arondo spoke to 15 attendees about the history and culture of pickling. He touched upon the origins of pickling and demonstrated how to pickle and what spices are best to flavor your pickling products. Bazaar Spices carries a pickling spice (a blend of allspice, bay leaves, cinnamon, chiles, dill seed, mustard seed, cloves, and coriander) that makes it easy for you to pickle some of your early fall vegetables.
