Quick Pickle Kit Review

Disclosure: I was sent a complimentary Quick Pickle Kit to review. All thoughts and opinions are my own! 

I think pickles are either a love 'em or hate 'em kinda food. I happen to think they are super delicious. I mostly eat them straight from the jar. There also was a time long ago that I once drank a cup of pickle juice because I heard it was good at replenishing salt and preventing cramps-if you can stomach it!

While I love trying new kitchen gadgets and recipes, I also am really short on time. I was excited to have the opportunity to try the Connoisseur Creations' Quick Pickle Kit which is advertised as being a fast, simple, and all-natural way to make pickles that only takes 3 days. Yep, I can plan ahead 3 days in advance. 

The kit was simple (no assembly required!) and included a big glass jar, instruction & recipe booklet, and seasoning packets. Since I'm a pickling novice, I decided to go with good old fashioned dill pickles.  All I had to do was add some mini cucumbers I grabbed at the local farmer's market along with the dill spice packets included and some vinegar (I used plain white vinegar I had lying around) and put the kit together as the instructions said.  It was easy and there were lots of helpful tips for pickling specific vegetables. 

After filling and sealing, the jar is heated for 75 minutes and then flipped to create a vacuum. It sat in my fridge for 3 days, and then it was time for the moment of truth! Success-they tasted delicious!

You also don't have to make cucumber pickles-you can pickle ANY vegetable! I've been seeing a lot of pickled vegetables on restaurant menus so I'me excited to experiment more. Now that my first experiment is under my belt, I need to try a different vegetable-I'm thinking beets. 

I wasn't paid to talk about pickles, just sent a complimentary kit to spread the word and help this business grow (plus I really like pickles). You can purchase your own Quick Pickle Kit on Amazon (MRP $39.99) plus it's Prime eligible if you are an Amazon addict #idoitforthefreeshipping.  You can also purchase extra spice packets on Amazon (each makes 3 batches of pickles) in Bread & Butter, Dill, and Sweet  (MRP $19.99).

 It would make a great Christmas gift!

November 14 is National Pickle Day, so it's the perfect time to make your own pickles!
