Today is National Pickle Day, a day to celebrate those brined wonders we all love to eat! It was created in 1949 and encouraged by the Pickle Packers Association.
The term, pickle, is from the Dutch word for brine – pekel. Here in the U.S. it usually refers to a pickled cucumber. But there are so many other ways to eat a pickle!
And here are a few ways to eat a pickle:
Let’s start with the classic pickled cucumber. You don’t need a lot of equipment. Try these easy and delicious Refrigerator Pickles [6]!

You can pickle fruit too! Strawberries are great. Here’s one to use on the watermelon rind [11] that usually goes to waste.
