National Pickle Day is a day we look forward to all year long at the Great Lakes Pickling Company. Crossing all those days off each month awaiting that one special day, November 14th, which is circled with a BOLD sharpie on our calendar.
It’s no surprise that we’ll celebrate with pickles. Some of us, we won’t name names, can’t resist going “all in”, enjoying the fun and pageantry of National Pickle Day to pay tribute to one of our very favorite foods.
We have 10 ways for you to celebrate National Pickle Day this year. Have some fun with it! Maybe pickle one or two of these, or all ten. OK, fine, we do all 10 and then some every year.
- Wear something green. Yes, it is easy to wear green! Bonus points if you have a pickle shirt or a pickle pin to proudly wear with your green clothing.
- Shop for your favorite pickling vegetables and enjoy pickling in your kitchen.
- You know the story of Peter Piper, right? Well Peter Piper says you should pick a pack of pickled peppers! Grab a pickling pouch and put some peppers in it.
- Bake a loaf of our delicious Dill Pickle Bread then make yourself a Fabulous Grilled Cheese and Pickle Sandwich. This one 2 pickle punch is unbelievable! Find our Dill Pickle Bread recipe here.
- Cook up a pot of savory Polish Dill Pickle Soup. Bonus: it freezes VERY well! Find our Polish Dill Pickle Soup recipe here.
- Buy a packet of Kirby Cucumber seeds to plant this coming spring. You can buy Kirby Cucumber seeds on Amazon here.
- Freeze a batch of Pickle Pops! Find our Power Pickle Pops recipe here.
- Make a pouch of pickles for a friend. Sharing is caring. Shop our easy-to-make pickling pouches, which only take three days before they’re ready to eat.
- Just enjoy a pickle. This is by far the easiest and most rewarding suggestion we can give you.
- Adopt a pet and name it Pickles! (Turtles don’t count).
Happy National Pickle Day from your friends at Great Lakes Pickling Company, your local source for easy homemade pickled vegetables.
