The other night I was watching "The best thing I ever ate" a show on the Food Network channel where chefs visit their favorite spot of something very delicious they once had to eat. This episode was all about Snacks. Ted Allen discussed his favorite snack is one of McClure's Pickles. This was the exact moment when I realized that it is okay to snack on pickles, which I occasionally do. So for everyone that thinks that is weird…it’s not. It also gave me the urge to try one of McClure’s pickles.
Two brothers, one in New York and the other in Detroit had the idea to start a pickle company with their great grandmother’s recipe and help from their grandfather. They use local products and each jar is hand packed. They sell garlic dill and spicy pickles as well as a relish. You can order cases from their website, but they are ridiculously expensive. They are also sold in various retail locations and Surdyk’s in Minneapolis is one of them. So I will be making my way there to get myself a jar or I will just have to wait until I am in New York this summer.
They also have some recipes for cooking with pickles. All can be found on their website. www.mcclurespickles.com
