A spice bag holds whole spices so flavor can infuse into brines, syrups, and sauces without leaving hard particles in the finished product.
What to look for
Use clean food-safe cheesecloth or a purpose-made reusable bag, and remove it when the recipe directs.
Product options
Regency 100% cotton ultra-fine cheesecloth
Cut a clean piece large enough to contain the whole spices, use enough layers to prevent particles escaping, and secure it with food-safe kitchen twine. Remove the spice bundle when the tested recipe directs; do not alter the specified spices or quantities.

Safe-use reminder
Equipment does not make an untested recipe safe. Use a current authoritative home-canning process that specifies the food, preparation, jar size, canner type, time or pressure, and altitude adjustment. Follow the equipment manufacturer’s current instructions.
