What I found was the most delectable, perfectly made pickle I have ever savored. I have eaten pickles canned at home by many little old ladies. That's a fringe benefit of doing home care nursing in the South. Some were, I dare say, better than the memory of my own Grandmother's pickles. Believe me, I am a connoisseur of fine pickles.
This store bought product whoops them all. It is crispy candy to the palette, with just a hint of twang to the senses. You can not eat just one. No way. Tomorrow, we are going back and buying ten jars. If they are available at your grocer, buy and try them. If they are not, ask why.

ReplyDeleteThis being Texas there is usually some amount of jalapeño peppers on the shelves. Last night's find was

Bread & Butter Jalapeños. Sweet and Hot. Texture clearly isn't pickles but they do taste delicious!
