EDIT: This is some GREAT Pickling Spice and I will buy this again over McCormick's. Everyone LOVED the Flavor of the Corned Beef. Thank you Southie for making a great FRESH Product.I have been making Corned Beef n Cabbage every year for 47 years. I have always used the Schilling's Pickling Spice a good tbls added to the scant packet of spice that comes with the Corned Beef. Friends and Family love my Corned Beef. The bottle of Pickling spice is now up to 7 bucks for 1.5 oz. I had tried to make Pickled Eggs. OK won't try that again, just didn't like the way the spices flavored the eggs, and in 4 days the liquid turned quite cloudy and smelled terrible. So keeping things in the USA I bought SOUTHIE Pickling Spice. Will give this a try for my Corned Beef then I will return and update my review.But one note is that this Pickling Spice is SUPER FRESH and has a great fragrance. I too received a packed of seasoning as a Gift, as well as a Handwritten Note...Both show me that this company Cares about what they do and it shows Prideful in their work and Customer base.

I bought this to make an Irish stew for St. Patrick's Day for my husband and his folks. After soaking brisket in a natural homemade brine for 5 to 6 days to end up with as close to corned beef that I could, I then put the brisket in an Instant Pot slow cooker for about 18 hours, on low, with water and this Southie spice mix, as per the instructions. The aroma of the spices won me over right away, but then the flavor of the meat (and juices used to cook cabbage, potatoes, and carrots separate) after stewing in the spices during that time, was better than I expected; in fact, one of the most unique and best flavors I've ever tasted. I don't eat a lot of meat, but if/when I do, I do my best to make it a truly special meal. This product did that for me with this meal, and it was well received by all -- everyone loved the flavor. I highly recommend the Southie spice mix, highly.

It's always been a guessing game on spices for us. For the longest time we could never find a spice pack for Corned Beef it was alway sold with the carcass. And guessing the perfect combo of spices was never even close. But this packet of spices is like heaven sent! Our Corned Beef made of seitan came out perfect!

It's delicious. I've made several corned beef and cabbage meals lately, and this seasoning is great. I followed the directions on the package because I wanted to get the full impact of just this seasoning. I had a 3.5 lb corned beef brisket, rinsed it, placed in 7 quart dutch oven, added enough water to cover the meat + 1 inch over, added a heaping 1/4 cup of Boston Spice Southie Pickling Spice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, brought to boil, reduced to low, simmered for 3 hrs, adding a quarter stick of butter after 1 hr. Lid on the dutch oven the whole time, lifting just to check that I had it on low simmer. After the meat was fork tender, I removed and placed in foil, then put potatoes, baby carrots, 1 onion wedge cut, 2 whole peeled garlic cloves, and a little more salt in the brine water, medium simmered until all was fork tender. It's delicious. You'll like it.

My store stopped selling corned beef pickling spice. It was always next to the corned beef, along with, rye bread, potatoes, and Green River pop. Not this year. I'll let you know about this product March 18, 2019. Seems awesome! Used this on St. Patrick's Day in my slo-cooker. The corned beef, potatoes, carrots and cabbage have never tasted better!

I agree w/Steven -- this is a spicy mix. It's because of the crushed red chili. Too bad you can't get the crushed red chili in a separate packet and add if you wish or toss if you don't.The heat from the chili peppers works its way into the boil water and in particular seems to be absorbed by the cabbage cooked with the corned beef in the final hour. It's really too bad because this spice blend would be perfect if the crushed red chili pepper came in a separate packet so the customer can use it or toss it.

This spice is absolutely perfect for corned beef roast. All the exact flavors are delicious and the product is a very high quality. However I would have given this 5 stars but they charge $5.45 shipping!!!!!!! This is 1/2 the price of the product. Very disappointing.

Really dresses up a brisket. It's like a taste of "Old Ireland". Great service, too, Thanks.
