Half sours are my favorite pickles! They’re just a little bit briny and not strong like a dill pickle you’d get in a restaurant or from the supermarket. They have the perfect crunch, the perfect spice and they’re the perfect size!
When I was a kid, we always went to the pickle man who kept his pickles in barrels. They were the best ones! He would always wrap one in a napkin for me and I’d happily eat it on the way home. I looked forward to it on the weekends when I’d go with my dad.
Fast forward many (many…) years later, and I do the same thing with my girls. Pickles, from the pickle man, who keeps the pickles in the barrels and wraps one in a napkin for my girls. He may not be the same pickle guy I went to as a kid, but wherever there is a pickle person, it’s always worth getting! They are seriously the best kind of pickles.
And if I’m having a pickle fix and my pickle man isn’t at the farmer’s market, sometimes I have to make my own. These are a great pickle in a pinch and they brine really quickly!
I suggest making them in a pickling jar or any jar that has a tight lid. They’ll pickle better!
