About a year ago, I paid an obscene amount of money for a
few jars of Rick’s Picks pickles. I was
at a benefit for the Prospect Park Alliance and hey, it was for the kids. For
the very Brooklyn playgrounds where my daughters had frolicked.
The great thing about pickles, of course, is that they can
be stuffed into the back of the pantry and used throughout the grim winter. Or
forgotten about and then found with a happy surprise, which is what happened
when I was doing a little Spring cleaning – very little, I should add – and I
unearthed a jar of Rick’s hotties.
These pickles on steroids, made with habanero and sriracha,
add an incredible kick to veggie burgers and an unusual twist to the peanut
butter and pickle sandwich that the New
York Times raved about recently.
I usually make the sandwich with Smucker’s
natural peanut butter, but with these spicy pickles, I added a schmear of Peanut Butter & Co.’s
equally spicy The Heat is On.
It was pretty awesome.
I can’t wait to see what I find next time I dig through the
pantry.
