"We liked the “substantial crunch” of these pickles. Their flavor, which reminded tasters of anise, nutmeg, and even five-spice powder, was polarizing. A few tasters loved them, but the less heavily spiced pickles in our lineup had broader appeal." I disagree entirely but I want to try Boars Head now to see how it compares.

Ugh again with the Boar’s Head. ALL of their products contain ADDED preservatives. I worked at a deli where for sliced lunch meat we roasted &smoked whole loins of turkey, ham, beef brined our own corned beef and smoked our own pork belly for bacon. We pickled peppers, onions and cucumbers weekly from scratch. There were ZERO artificial/synthetic ingredients involved in our operation. It was always an insult when a customer demanded we have Boar’s Head products available to order. Go to the Ralphs/Kroger deli if you want that processed crap that cost more than what we were offering. BTW Grillo’s and Clausen are my pickle picks.

My choice is Safe Way. Plus, they are cheap and Krogers sells them. The key is a uniform crunch and bite thru the skin and pickle with no mushiness or harder skin. Mt. Olive is 2nd. My favorite brine is Vlasic Sweet Heat. I grow and make my own pickles. Fermenting is a must. It gives me that uniform crunch and bite thru the skin and pickle. Brine flavor you can control and spice it how you like. Buy a couple of brands. Compare and contrast. More expensive ones aren’t necessarily worth the cost.

Sounds like a good idea! How much pepper flake do you add?

Wow! You found something there! I was crazy too add a little tajin to the mix and it changed the profile dramatically! Oh my gosh! The three together!❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥

Claussens are different when I'm in Colorado vs East Coast too, is this based on available crops or does elevation play an effect on the pickling process making the pickles less crunchy

For the refrigerated, Grillo's pickles are amazing.

If you like pickles, and you can find them, try Don Hermann & Sons, made in Garrettsville, OH. I lived about 2 miles away from them...my school bus would go past their farm every morning. I live west of the Mississippi now and I can find them at Sprouts.

I've only tried Mt Olive from this group, but Aldi's dill gerkins are my favorite dill pickle

Before I watch this video.. My hands down favorite has always been Claussen from the refrigerated section.. My family all feels the same.. More expensive, but well worth it. My next favorite is the Kroger Brand, also in the refrigerated section.. Not sure if this one is reviewed.. The shelf stable pickles always seemed soft with little crunch to them... except for some baby pickles that I had once.. Can't remember the brand, but they were pretty good.. Can't wait to see the outcome of this video...!

We like the Woodstock for shelf-stable and Clausen for refrigerator pickles.

I seem to recall my grandmother doing the salt brjne.. Only with dill. Kept in a dark place and skim the mold off etc. But added alum? Im thinking that helped with the cloudiness...they were so delicous ❤
