A Pickle Sickle is exactly what it sounds like: a frozen food treat made from the juice of freshly squeezed pickles mixed with their brine. The result is a savory and refreshing frozen food that might seem quite bizarre to people new to the delights of pickle brine, or those who associate the “frozen treat” with something sweet. Pickle Sickle comes from Texas, a state where people are extremely fond of pickle brine, and is a natural extension of an already existing Texas treat, a shaved ice topped with pickle juice.
Pickle brine is a tart, flavorful liquid that many people turn down once they’ve finished a container of pickles. However, some aficionados like to drink the brine, use it in mixed drinks, or add it to various recipes, taking advantage of the intense burst of tart flavor. For pickle aficionados, this is a perfectly normal and in fact enjoyable activity, even though many people find the concept of drinking pickle totally incomprehensible and even a little revolting.
John Howard of Seguin, Texas is responsible for packaging the Pickle Sickle, also known as Bob’s Pickle Pop, and shipping it to pickle juice fans around the world. Pickle Sickles comes in room temperature blister packs designed to be locked in the freezer. After freezing overnight, the pickle juice inside has solidified into a popsicle shape, which can be taken out of the package. The end result is tart and salty and can be eaten on its own or even as a palate cleanser between courses.
In warm weather, a Pickle Sickle can be quite enjoyable, as frozen sweet treats often feel cloying in warm weather. The brine also helps the body resist dehydration, which can be a useful accidental side effect. Some dieters have also adopted Pickle Sickle as a low-fat snack to eat when a craving for food occurs.
Bob’s Pickle Sickles says that if you try a Pickle Sickle, you might like it. In addition to buying this interesting frozen treat, you can also make your own version at home, by juicing some pickles, mixing the juice with the brine, and pouring it into a popsicle mold to freeze. After a night of freezing, your pickled sickles will be ready to eat, and as well as enjoying them as a snack, you can also make them a conversation piece at parties.
