National Bake Bean and Pickle Month

The hot July days call for easy and good things to eat:
I have lived in the south all my life and this is a new one for me.

(Koolickles)

considered a delicacy in parts of the Southern United States made by soaking dill pickles in mixture of kool-Aid and pickle brine.




Did you know that pickled cucumbers are rich in vitamin C ? Even though pickled cucumbers are considered a fruit.

I've never heard of koolickles. I lived I Arkansas and now live in Alabama. To me dill pickles and lime Koolaid would make sweet dills that tasted like lime. Is this an accurate description?

Interesting is all I can think to say about Koolickles. I just googled it and saw it was Alton's Brown's recipe. He used cherry kool-aid plus added sugar to the dill brine. Oh my. I think I'll stick with the Kosher original. Thanks for some new information on an old summer favorite.

Well I have never heard of Koolickles. Does it make a difference on what kind of kool-aide you use? I don't know about that one Patsy.LOL!

I like Baked Beans and I like Pickles but maybe not together. LOL!
