Ingredients: ginger, mustard seed, cloves, coriander seed, allspice, mace, dried chilies

Pickling has been used in northern and eastern Europe for centuries as a way to preserve vegetables. Whole spices, rather than ground, should be used for pickling. They can be added right to the vinegar, or tied in a muslin bag and removed later. You can also try adding black or white peppercorns, or leave out the chilies if you're not a fan of their flavor.
