A Little Bit of Pickle Pleasure for your New Year's

Ring in 2012 with good friends and in a pickle's splendiferous new attitude to some old favorites that includes our sweet & spicy pickle peppers!

Add luck to your year with a few lucky peas... raw black-eyed peas make a beautiful accent to any champagne glass... we put a few in the bottom of the glass and then pour a bit of the bubbly in for the first toast of the New Year!  We DON'T recommend adding these to your glass at the end of the night... 

Something you will want to try is our version of Black-eyed Pea Chowder... yummy!  AND to go with that chowder you may want to add some in a pickle pepper Focaccia.  Another fun idea is a twist on your favorite bloody Mary mix... Try ours with sweet & spicy pickle peppers.

Thanks again to all our pickle peeps for an incredible 2011... Here's to 2012 - may yours include happiness, peace and love...
