Anyone who grew up in the PNW would know these pickles. They were made in Portland Oregon. Pickle making was big business in the Jewish community. These were the only pickles my family would buy. When my parents were kids they were fished out of the wooden pickle barrel at the store.
These are a fermented pickle and contain no vinegar. The company sold to another Portlenad based pickle company Stienfelds. The recipe remained the same until Stienfelds was sold. The pickles can still be bought but the recipe is not the same.
I recently found this recipe online. Everyone that has tried it says it is the closest thing to the original.
I’ll find out in 5 weeks.
