I did my first pickling of the year yesterday, and these spices would be very helpful for the rest of season. Thanks for the giveaway!!
My mom was usually the one in the kitchen, except when it came to making pickles – that was my dad’s job. He used fresh cucumbers from his garden and I helped.
Would love to try some of these products!
I made lemon infused pickles with lemon cucumbers ? A few years ago and won a blue ribbon in the state fair!!!!
The first time I canned pickles was in class given by my CSA. But the BEST time was when I realized I could slice the big long cucumbers and make hamburger dills–which my husband eats by the case!
I have yet to find a favourite pickle. I’m hoping to change that this year.
Making Mrs. Wages lime pickles with my Mom!
I love making spicy green beans like my grandma used to make. Tasty
My cucumber vines are starting to bloom and I will be pickleing soon. Could really use these supplies.
My favorite pickle making memory is helping my Grandma make pickles when I was a child. Every year we made dill, bread and butter and watermelon rind pickles. My favorite was her “end of the garden” pickles in the fall. These were made with the tiny green tomatoes just before the frost killed the vines, carrots, peppers and pretty much everything else that hadn’t been picked yet. The bigger green tomatoes went into making green tomato mincemeat, which was used for holiday pies and cookies.
I remember making pickles with my mother when I was a little girl. We used her grandmother’s recipe for garlic dill pickles. So delicious.
Love pickled anything!
Love all of these. Can’t wait to use some of these – that is if I win
Excited for pickle season!
I’d love to try out new recipes to make pickles. Hope I win!
I’d like to try my hands at a very garlicky crunchy pickle this year, in previous years my pickles get too soft.
My Mom has a crock that belonged to her Grandmother and she would always make mustard pickles once a year when we were growing up, they were strong but so good.
Bread and butter pickles , yummy!
I don’t have any pickle MAKING memories yet, but I have lots and lots of pickle EATING memories! I’m looking forward to making my first batch of pickles this year.
I have tried making pickles with little success. These might be just the help I need.
I must say I have not one specific pickling memory that is my favorite, but I Do remember the smell and coolness of my grandmother’s canning cellar. And pulling one of the cobs of corn she was pickling in her huge crock. I could suck on those little ears of corn for hours as a small child.!
When my children were younger I made bread & butter refrigerator pickles with cucumbers straight from the farm. My 18 year old son still requests those pickles & he’s been quite a pickle fan ever since.
When I was about 7 we were visiting my grandparents house and grandma was making Bread & Butter chips using zucchini from the garden. Until then I thought I hated pickles and zucchini, but I was hooked. She let me help with the slicing and packing into jars. I’ve been canning ever since!
So far, the best pickling memories are anything to do with the pickled blueberries. My whole household has gone bonkers for them. I sent some to friends living overseas and they went bonkers for them. I take them to food swaps, and people go bonkers for them.
I remember eating containers-full of freezer pickles with club crackers at my grandparent’s home as a child. I love them and making them still brings back memories!
I remember making spicy Chinese refrigerator pickles with my grandmother. I eventually moved into canned and fermented pickles, but this memory always stands out. Those pickles were a crazy glistening red from the chili oil, but we’re a perfect blend of crisp, sweet, salty, sour and just a bit spicy….
I love remembering my mother can all of the bounty from our garden.
My grandpa grew a large garden, and part of our summer routine was helping prepare and can. That range from shelling peas to snapping green beans. I never helped her make the pickles, but I can remember the finished product of home made bread and butter from a mason jar.
I remember my grandma making dill pickles. They were the best ever!!!
I remember making garlic dills in the hot, TX summer and having a hard time waiting a week to open a jar.
I’ve never made pickles before, this would be a great time to start.
I’ve never made pickles but I’m game to try!
Mmmm pickles!
My sister makes the best pickles- I think its time to challenge her!
I used the Mrs. Wage’s Dill Pickle Mix last year as I have not been satisfied with previous attempts at dill pickles. With the mix they were exactly as I was hoping for!
My favorite memory of making pickles is being with my mom, grandma and aunts and making an assembly line to make batches and batches of pickles for our family! I now do the same with my kiddos! Such a tradition!
I’ve been making lots of jam but would love to try pickles.
Making quick pickles with my Mom…I still use her recipe.
The first time I pickled zucchini spears with my mom and discovering that they squeak when bitten!
Planted my first cucumbers this year. Hoping for a bumper crop, so this give away would be great.
We make Indian pickle. It wa always a family affair with everyone getting together and making it for all the families.

We have actually never made pickles before, so we really want to try. Thank you!
Bread & Butter pickles are my favorite!! My cucumber crop is behind schedule this year.
When I was little, my grandma and I made a batch of pickles using her father’s recipe. I remember them being SO delicious! This is a good reminder to me that I need to see if she still has that recipe. 🙂
