Much of the food used at Mount Vernon was grown here, but not everything could be grown here. Spices used in cooking and preserving foods often came from all around the world. Join the Youth Programs team to see and smell some of the spices that were being used in pickling and explore some pickling recipes from Martha Washington's cookbook. While you're here, take home a recipe to make pickled cauliflower at home.
