Pickles
Shannon's pickles debuted in 2017 and were an instant hit locally! As a result of all the smiles and requests, we will be making more pickles in 2018 and making them available to everyone. The weight of the jars and care required to ship glass causes us to only be able to ship with USPS Priority Mail. Shipping costs will be a little higher out of necessity, but it will arrive sooner.
Pickles come in quart jars for $5. Pick from Regular or Peppercorn flavors, then choose whether you want slices or spears, and quick pickles or shelf-stable pickles. Quick pickles pack a little more flavor, but need to be eaten within one month from the canning date and should always be refrigerated. Shelf-stable can hold for 1-2 years and don't need to be refrigerated until opened.
***We are now SOLD OUT of pickles for the 2018 season.***
