We decided that we needed to get our wotsits into gear and get some brisket in some brine so that we can have a Reuben over the Christmas period. I managed to use up all of our pickling spice last night whilst brining some chicken thighs prior to smoking using hickory today. Therefore I decided to have a go at using some of the spices that we have to hand and see if we could make our own. This is the 'blend'.
3g ground Mace
3g Juniper Berries
3g Allspice Berries
2 fresh finger chillies, chopped (no dried ones in the house)
2 bay leaves
3g pepper corns
3G mustard seeds
When the brisket comes out in 8 days or so then I'll post back to let you know whether or not it worked.
