Pass the Salt & Pepper Pickles

Pass the Salt & Pepper Pickles WHAT?
Pass the Salt & Pepper Pickles PLEASE.

Yeah, that's right, watch your manners. These are MISS JENNY'S pickles and she's a lady dammit. Well, actually, she's two ladies......

Miss Jenny's Pickles is a brand spanking-new pickle company that started just last July in Kernersville, North Carolina by two Southern gals ('bout damn time!) named Ashlee and Jenny. They offer 3 varieties of pickles: Bread & Butter, Hot, and Salt & Pepper and they were nice enough to send me jars of all three!

I ate the hot ones first and as is usually the case they were gone before I could drag a camera out and shoot them...but even a half empty jar still looks pretty damn good doesn't it? I started with the hot pickles and then a few hours later I cracked open the Bread & Butter Pickles and I was tricked into thinking they tasted the same. So I got all three jars of pickles out and treated myself to a little "taste test" all in the call of "duty".

I was shocked by how similar they all tasted in my memory and how completely different they tasted once I had them all side by side. Each variety really has its own distinct flavor: the first two you can probably imagine already as I'm sure you're familiar with Bread & Butter Pickles and you know what "hot" means don't you? It would be easy to say the "hot" ones were just a spicy version of the bread & butter ones, but it wouldn't be completely wrong either. The Salt & Pepper flavor was what really had me excited. The base flavor was once again similar to the other two-a bright vinegary taste with just a hint of sweetness and cider vinegar but then, you guessed it, a sharp twang of BOTH spices you're used to shaking on your mashed potatoes.I've never heard of this kind of pickle and as far as I know, Ashlee and Jenny are the only ones making them. I'm told they are based on a recipe from Miss Jenny's grandmother and that it took several attempts to get the recipe just right.

Well, I'll say they've done it. These pickles belong on your checkered,oil-cloth covered table, in your picnic basket and in your fridge! Pass the Salt & Pepper Pickles PLEASE. Be nice or your won't get any.
