Illinois State Fair - Mrs. Wages Kosher Dill Pickles

My 19-year-old son James loves the Mrs. Wages® pickles so I made a point of making them for him this year. We purchased pickles at a church sale for several years and didn’t know what made them different. (He didn’t prefer the ones I usually made!) I finally determined it was the Mrs. Wages® mix, so he was very excited that we could finally make our own!

Indiana State Fair – Mrs. Wages® Sweet Radish Dill Pickles

Indiana State Fair – Mrs. Wages® Sweet Radish Dill Pickles

I came up with the idea to do radish pickles because we had a bumper crop of radishes this year in our garden, and you can only eat so many raw radishes you know? I like dill with radishes, and I’ve used the Mrs. Wages® Quick Process Dill Pickle Mix for a number of years to make dilled carrot pickles, so I thought I’d give radishes a try. I found the recipe needed a little sugar to keep the vinegar-radishy-ness from being too harsh.

Sandy’s Spicy Dill Pickles

Sandy's Spicy Dill Pickles

I like my pickles a bit spicy, so I have added the red pepper flakes. The judge said she could definitely taste them. I’ve been using Mrs. Wages® for the past five or six years, and I love the pickle and salsa mixes. I’m a beginner at pickling, but enjoy it. I get my cucumbers from local farmer’s markets.
