I love my mom’s pickled daikon and carrots!
My favorite pickles are the kinds that bring a ton of spice and zest to the table, like ginger and beets, and hot peppers and onions!
Homemade dill pickles! They are hands down my fsvorite.
My favorite pickles are the ones my mom made last year using Mrs Wage’s Zesty bread and butter mix. They were delicious!
I would love to try these products out when I make pickles. I tried my hand in making dill pickles from a recipe a few years ago but it didn’t come out the way I wanted. Then I made some Bread&Butter Pickles after that and that did come out real nice&then I made some ChowChow(from a recipe passed down from my Dad’s side) and that really turned out great! I’ve been making those ever since but I really want to try to make dill and sweet pickles that my family&friends can enjoy. Thanks for the chance!
Bread and butter refrigerator pickles. Yummy!
Our family loves really crispy dill pickles…
Dilly green beans!
my goal this summer is to try canning pickles, FOR THE FIRST TIME! Mrs. Wages mixes would be mighty helpful!
I like bread butter pickles the best. Close seconds are pickled beets or cornichons.
I love homemade refrigerator pickled veggies.
Hi Marisa – Love your books and have been making Mrs. Wages salsa in the summer when I get overwhelmed with tomatoes. My husband and I have experimented with different hop pickles, but we seem to come back to sweet pickles. In the summer.
I love the pickled ginger that comes with sushi! Definitely my favorite pickle!
Dill pickles with garlic! Second place would be my mom’s bread and butter pickle recipe.
Pickled okra
Every summer we always made several huge batches of sweet pickle relish for my mom because she loved it so much. This is my first summer without her so not sure what kind of pickles to make now….I’m more of a spicy garlic dill girl so might have to make more of those.
I like sweet pickles, relish is even better
Pickled green beans are the only veg my girl will eat most of the time! Pickled carrots and cauliflower have to be my fave!
I have an absolutely classic vinegar based refrigerator pickle I love to make in the summers. I do a combination of mostly apple cider vinegar, a splash of rice wine vinegar to mellow the sharp edges, pretty standard pickling spice mix with extra red pepper flakes, and lots of garlic cloves and fresh dill sprigs. I almost always do halved or quartered small kirbys. If I have them I might add a couple Long hots and jalapeños for a little more kick. Adding some quartered small green tomatoes is nice too.
whole dill pickles. gotta be a good crunch on it
Homemade dill pickles used to be the go-to, however I just made my first batch of bread and butter pickles and I think I’m hooked!
Oh my gosh! I have so many favorites! I think my Grandmother’s watermelon pickles are one of my favorites. Unless you grow your own melons, its really hard to find a melon with thick enough rind these days. I would love to try Mrs. Wages spices this summer. Thanks for the opportunity to win a fabulous pickling package.
Sweet and sour pumpkin, YUM!
I love pickled beets!
Giardiniera is a favorite of mine but I love pickled okra and dilly beans and we eat a ton of chow chow. The first year I tried pickles they were great but the last two years they have been softer than we like, even though the flavor was good. These look like great options to try. I try to grow and can as much as I can so that I have a better shot at controlling what my family eats and what goes into their food. Live this site and your books! Thanks for all you do
I love homemade rice wine vinegar pickles with celery seed
Bread and butter pickles! Last summer we got fermenting jars, and I made a bread and butter pickle with it that was really good. Hoping to try a few more pickle recipes this summer- we have a lot of cucumber plants.
A local restaurant had these great pickles that are mild and still cucumbery. Yum!
I’ve just started canning and love the Mrs. Wages Bread and Butter pickles! My sister-in-law made a batch for me when I was pregnant and now I can’t get enough of them!
My favorite pickled food was garlic I had at a holiday show.
My faves are farmers market pickles that I get from the Amish Market in pa
I love pickled okra and pickled asparagus. I can’t decide which is my favorite. But then there’s dilly beans, pickled garlic, pickled cauliflower, and pickled jalapeños. All good!, as is Mrs, Wages products.
