Gee, that sounds like a book and movie title!
I caught up with my grade-school classmate Michelle on the way back from the beach last month. She lives in Daphne, Alabama, where she owns and runs the Sugar Kettle Café. (Daphne is straight across Mobile Bay from Mobile, and not too far out of the way coming back from Gulf Shores.)
We had a fantastic breakfast, and then she kindly gave us a jar of these house-made “sweet heat” pickles. I don’t think they lasted two whole days. They’re as sweet as any sweet pickles, but there’s a complex spice cocktail too that ends with a little kick. They’re delicious. I asked her if I could buy six more quart jars so that we’d have some for a while, and she promptly shipped them to me. We’re halfway through them already.
As you might imagine, shipping is rather dear for six quart jars of pickles, so I’d recommend you get some in person next time you go to the beach. In person, they’re $5.99 for a pint jar and $10.99 for a quart.
We loved the Sugar Kettle Café, and we love these pickles! See you next time, Michelle!
