Holidays, HoliDAZE

We are in a pickle holiDAZE as we count down for Christmas ... sales are topping all time highs, pickle peeps continue to shop and we continue to prepare and stock our pantry with seasonal and sweet and spicy delights!

The holiday season brings fond memories for us of family, friends and good foods.  That's why we try and bring you products that will help make a memory or bring back a wonderful recollection of a holiday passed.  Here are a few recipes... not any that are out of the ordinary but we think you'll find, like we have, that when you add an in a pickle product to an ordinary recipe... sometimes you'll find extraordinary!  

We hope you find that special memory in our products... we are so thankful for all of our customers and those we fondly call "pickle peeps"
Merry Christmas from our home to yours...
