I first heard about Wickles pickles on the Chowhound website . In Publix, they are tucked in a top refrigerated shelf at the back of the store near eggs and horseradish. I’d never have found them if I hadn’t been searching.
They are much like what Southerners call fire and ice pickles: sweet, hot, garlicky and coldly dilly, all at the same time. Addictive.
The Wickles folks make other products too, including banana pepper rings, relish and pickled pepper strips. You can see more on their website.
Wickles are a classic success story. Using a 70-year-old recipe, they began to make Wickles as gifts for friends. Word spread, and so did demand, until Wickles became a hot business.
You can buy Wickles at speciality gourmet stores, and locally at Publix. They sell gift packs on their website.
My sweetie loves these with ham, or barbecue (or just standing up, in front of the refrigerator). I keep a few jars on hand as little hostess gifts and to take to picnics, too.
I am sure that these pickle are delicious as well as the Pickle-in-a-Pouch product that we are proud of. We would like to know what you think of ours compared to the Wickles Pickle.
