Please accept this Official Entry into the "Let's Get Pickled" TD
This is my official entry titled, "In and Out Pickles." :mrgreen:
This was a tough theme considering the time I had available to pickle something. My ideal entry would have been Korean BBQ with homemade kimchi, but since this week didn't work for a complicated TD entry, I chose to keep it simple by using existing pickles as an appetizer or snack.
Assembled ingredients: 1 lb. ground Tamworth pork, Bick's Dill Pickles, onion powder and white peppercorns, coriander, celery, cumin, dill (not in photo), mustard seeds all ground up to make my own low sodium spice mix.
The spice mix on ground pork ready to be mixed.

I rifled through my drawers to find a pickle tool. Found a couple, after a few fumbling tries to core my pickle I realized a straight tool is not going to core a crooked pickle. Decided to slice lengthwise and gut that way. Gutted with both the borer and the paring knife. Knife wins!

Sliced and gutted pickles.

To make these proper "In and Out Pickles" they had to get porked in and out.

And voilà, I present "In and Out Pickles" with sour cream and a pickle jar of ale. Let's get pickled!

These pickles are a hit and would make a great addition to any Sports Bar appetizer menu. We ate them with smoked whole potatoes and sour cream, what a delight! I can see making them as a snack with ABTs for time spent tending smokers and drinking beer with friends.
Thanks for looking!
