Pickling - so far I've found:

1. Wild allspice
2. Juniper
3. Prickly ash (peppercorn)
4. Apples

I want to up my pickling game this year by going a level deeper than just making a brine from, albeit, mostly store-bought things. I'll be making my own pickling spice, as well as apple cider vinegar, purely from ingredients I've picked

Now onto finding a natural source for salt in #Michigan..

These light up your mouth like peppercorns when chewed. I think it's #pricklyash, just a few feet from the river #michigan #outdoors #plants
