There’s always a flurry of activity (and a lot of delicious aromas) in the SouperSpices kitchen, but lately, things have been getting a little... tangy.
We’ve been busy experimenting, tasting, and perfecting our latest passion project. Today, we are so excited to pull back the curtain and show you what’s been bubbling away: THE SOUPER SPICES TRIPLE-PICKLE GIFT SET
Pickling Made Simple
Think pickling is a day-long project involving giant boiling pots? Think again! At SouperSpices, we believe in the "Quick Pickle" (or Refrigerator Pickle).
It’s as easy as making a cup of tea. By simmering our hand-blended spices with a simple brine and pouring it over fresh ingredients, you lock in crunch and flavor instantly. No special equipment, no stress—just gourmet pickles ready to enjoy by tomorrow’s lunch. No Canning Required - Ready in 24 Hours!!
Bringing the Garden to the Jar
As part of our mission to get back to basics and embrace the homesteading spirit, we wanted to create something that celebrates the crunch of a garden-fresh vegetable. Whether you have a sprawling backyard garden or just a great local farmer's market, pickling is the ultimate way to capture that "just-picked" flavor.
What’s Inside the Test Kitchen’s Latest Creation?
We spent weeks tweaking the ratios to ensure these blends were exactly right—bold, balanced, and, as always, all-natural. In our new Souper Spices Triple-Pickle Gift Set, we’ve curated a collection that goes way beyond your standard dill spear:
Homestead Dill Cucumber Pickle
The Flavor: The quintessential "Blue Ribbon" deli pickle. This blend is dominated by the bright, aromatic punch of premium dill seed and the sharp, earthy bite of yellow mustard seeds. A few black peppercorns add a foundational warmth without being spicy. The Experience: It’s crisp, nostalgic, and exactly what a cucumber pickle should be. It’s designed to taste like a summer garden harvest, providing that classic "snap" and vinegar tang that pairs perfectly with burgers or straight from the jar.
Mason Jar Picnic Pickled Eggs
The Flavor: Deeply savory, earthy, and robust. This blend uses celery seed and cracked bay leaves to create a "pub-style" complexity that stands up to the richness of hard-boiled eggs. The secret is a touch of ground turmeric, which lends a beautiful, golden-hued glow to the eggs. The Experience: This is a sophisticated snack blend. It transforms a simple egg into a gourmet treat that feels like it belongs on a high-end charcuterie board or as a protein-packed snack during a Sunday afternoon picnic.
Ruby Zest Red Onion Pickle
The Flavor: Bright, floral, and citrus-forward. We’ve blended coriander and fennel seeds to create a "zesty" profile that complements the natural sweetness of red onions. A hint of star anise adds a faint, mysterious sweetness that makes the brine smell incredible. The Experience: This is the "chef's favorite." When these spices hit the vinegar and onions, they create a vibrant pink pickle that looks like jewelry in a jar. It’s the perfect crunchy topping for tacos, salads, and avocado toast, adding a "pop" of color and flavor to any meal.
Why Pickling?
Because it’s fun, it’s healthy, and it’s incredibly satisfying! There is something magical about taking a few simple ingredients, adding our handmade spice blends, and ending up with a jar of goodness that brightens up any meal.
It’s also the perfect consumable gift. It encourages the recipient to spend ten minutes in the kitchen creating something themselves, without the stress of a complicated recipe.
Coming Soon to the Shop!
We are just putting the finishing touches on the packaging (we want it to look as beautiful on your counter as it tastes in the jar!). I think we're going to package the three pickle blends inside a 16oz mason jar. We also found the cutest pickle fork that makes the set complete!
Keep an eye on the shop—the Pickling Perfection Gift Set will be dropping very soon.
