What a great giveaway! I make pickles all the time, but this year will be the first with home-grown cucumbers. Can’t wait for them to be ready!
Nice giveaway, maybe this will get me out of my jam making rut. 🙂
I find, too late, that I maybe shouldn’t have shared my pickles quite so freely! 🙂 This will make it possible to replace those I gave away.
I stopped pickling for a while since I was moving so much (4 times in 1.5 years!) Now that I’m settling in to my new place, can’t wait to start pickling again! This would really set me up!
Would love to make my first batch of pickles with your fabulous products!
Would LOVE this. Our Farmers Market has a wonderful selection of pickling cukes!

Anything involving beets is worth trying for!
My family’s favorite has always been “Sweet Bread and Butter Pickles”… for the refrigerator. I like a bite to my pickles so choose ‘dill’.
Last year I purchased a case of cucumber from the farmers market to make relish. It was a hard few days but WOW was it worth it. I still have reish from that batch we use it all the time.
I am almost of out pickles so it’s just about time to get started making some more!
I’ve got both National Pickling cucumbers and Sumter cucumbers growing in my garden and I can’t wait for pickling season! This basket from Mrs. Wages looks great!
Making pickles with my mom!
I don’t plant cucumbers every year, we don’t always want pickles – but this year I have planted cucumbers so this would be a perfect excuse for a community pickle making party.
My favorite memory would be the first time I make bread and butter pickles from cucumbers we grew in our garden.
My favourite pickling memories are of when all the women in my family (grandmother, mother, sister, aunts, cousins) would get together and do up massive batches of pickles for the year. Now that my grandmother is gone, we still make pickles in family units, and I include my own daughter in the process!
I need to broaden my pickling repertoire. Winning these items would help a lot!
I’ve always only made Mrs. Wage’s Old South Cucumber Lime Pickles. It would be interesting to try something different.
I need to expand my canning experience. This would help 😉
I remember my grandmother making pickles. She left them at our house (forgot them actually) and had to send spices for the next steps. She told my mother to “let him do it, because you will mess them up.” Ha ha, she always had confidence in my cooking/canning skills
My very ever first batch of dills; all was going well until I opened the pressure canner after processing!…Oh my:(
I Love all pickles. Last year’s bread and butter was a big hit also the refrigerated ones.
I wish I had some kind of pickle-making memory. At least, one that stands out as good. I’ve had some disasters over the years… Mostly mushy or too-salty pickles. I stick to stuff like green beans and squash for pickling now.
Used Mrs. Wages Mild Salsa mix yesterday. These products are a great addition to any canner’s kitchen.
Love to try these.
Love you and Mrs. Wage’s! After a life-changing breakup and ugly divorce two years ago I’m finally getting back to things that I am passionate about. It’s time to get back to pickle and relish-making, the county fair awaits!
Fantastic giveaway…we love pickles!
Making pickles with my Gram back in the 60,s
I have made several quick pickles, and make cucumber relish every year, however I have always wanted to try traditional pickles
Gotta love pickle season!!
A close friend of my family ask me to can bread and butter pickles with her when I was 19 years old and newly married. It was an all day canning time. She always canned enough to last her family for 2 years and we shared the results. I had 2 cases of pickles to take home and a love for canning. 60 years later I’m still canning everything I can and just started using Mrs. Wages last year and love them.
Memory; starting as a young child canning pickles with my mom. She always had a very large garden so done A lot of canning back in the day.
My favorite was the home canned sweet pickles along with Bread N Butter pickles she / we made.
Thank you for this wonderful giveaway opportunity
The first time I made bread & butter pickles I couldn’t wait for them to cure. Finally around Thanksgiving I was able to open my first jar and share it with my new in-laws. To my horror I had missed the part of the recipe that said to put in the sugar ingredient!
My favorite memory is of my Grandma making her saurkraut. We were so excited to keep an eye on the bloom. It was always a fun project. And weinies and saurkraut have always been one of my favorite meals.
Zucchini cumin pickles made quick work of my excess zucchini harvest one year!
The first time I canned pickles and it worked. I was amazed and so was my husband!
I’ve never made pickles before, this will be my first year!
Our cucumbers aren’t doing so well this year…but there’s always hope! We used Mrs. Wages relish mix years ago and plan to try it again this year.
I would like to try pickling some different types of pickles.
Pickles add a nice touch to a meal!
I haven’t made pickles for a few years. I think I’m ready for a major pickling session and such a wonderful prize would be exactly what I would need!!
I keep meaning to try doing my own cucumbers but keep failing to do so. This would give me no excuse to NOT do them this year 🙂
Last year was a failure. Hoping for good memory this year.
Last year my sister and brother-in-law planted ghost peppers…yowza! So we used a bunch of them by putting a sliver in jars of pickles. It made for some yummy spicey pickles that weren’t too crazy hot that the wimps in the family (me!) couldn’t enjoy them.
What I love most about making pickles is the excitement… finding the cutest tiny cukes for sweet gherkins at a farmer’s market stand, harvesting the best green beans from my own garden, my sons and I mixing up the tastiest spices for the brine… thinking about the finished product is almost as much fun as eating them when they’re done! Thanks for the giveaway!
This looks like a great way to try some new flavors!
my grandma used to send bread and butter pickles to us for Christmas every year – military family living far away from home. I now make the same pickles
My mom and I used to make lots of sweet pickle relish every year. I loved getting to grind up all the pickles in the old metal grinder, clamped to the countertop.
A favorite memory? Hmm……I guess it’s kind of a new one but I’ve been proudly remembering last Monday when I made a tiny batch of purslane stem quick pickles in about 15 minutes….record time for me! When I’m canning I usually take forever to finish up!
This would be great. I love to give pickles to family for Christmas.
I just made a tremendous batch of pickles, and my cucumber plants are already dripping with more cucumbers. I’m running out of ideas! What a great giveaway 🙂
