    Generally, pickling vinegar has already had the pickling spices added. Plain malt vinegar you have to add your own spices. Of course, you don't NEED spices when you pickle stuff if you prefer a less tangy flavour. I use spices in chutney, but not when I'm pickling onions.
    If I'm over the hill, where was the top?

    Hi, :)

    From this page:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickling
    Antimicrobial herbs and spices, such as mustard seed, garlic, cinnamon or cloves, are often added.[2]
    And if you follow the link to "Pickled eggs" at the bottom of this page - there are links to some recipes.

    HTH :)

    And we have this from an earlier very short thread:-

    The white vinegar I buy from the fishmongers for cleaning is spiced but it doesn't matter either way if its just for cleaning.
