Harold's Sissy Sweet Pickles


It's been really amazing, as a pickle enthusiast to watch as so many new picklers have come along in the last few years. One of those picklers is a guy that otherwise may be a nuisance to society so let's all thank the gods that he found an outlet in pickling. His name is Harold and he lives in Texas. He tells tall tales and is quick with a hug, wink or a kiss, like I said, he's a Texan.

I've been lucky enough to meet the feller awhile back when he was in NOLA for The Gourmet Hot Sauce Show. At the time he was just testing out his latest recipe for The Beer Pickle that would join his first 3 types: Frances Cowley Original Dill, 2X Hot, 4X Hot. I'm a fan of all three, especially the beautiful label on The Beer Pickle jar that I think would look fantastic as a tattoo on my future husband or, foregoing marriage, a nice oil painting for my parlor. Anyway, while these pickles are all great, I was truly wowed by their latest addition, a so called "sissy" sweet pickle. I

Now, I've noticed a couple of things:
1-that I REALLY, really like sweet pickles but only if they are spicy and
2-there are now a shit load of these types of pickles out there and I couldn't be happier.
Most people down South call them "Fire & Ice" pickles but perhaps you Yankees don't even know they exist. Harold's Sissy Sweet Pickles are here to ease your painful ignorance and then to cause you more pain. These are the hottest "sweet" pickles I've ever had and there's nothing sissy about them, 'cept the size of the jar. I need a barrel of these fine things.

You can order these fiery, not for the faint of heart pickles here or you can flirt with danger and contact Harold on their facebook page

You've been warned. Enjoy!
