The gherkin manufacturers, which first began operating in 1942, have drawn inspiration from what they know and created the world’s first candle that smells like a jar of pickles!

The unusual item is a collaboration with the brand Candier by Ryan Porter which is known for making candles with amusing scents with funny names like “know your worth and add tax,” and “I’m not coming unless there’s wine”.

“We saw a huge opportunity to do something really fun and different with Vlasic in celebration of National Pickle Day. But creating a candle that looks and smells like a real jar of pickles posed several big challenges,” said Krysten Kauder who founded Candier. “Getting the wax pickles to look like they’re floating in clear liquid was really tough. So, everything had to be done by hand, including the placement of the pickles and pouring of the wax. After lots of rounds of research and testing, our team nailed it and produced a 100% wax candle that looks and smells like a jar of Vlasic pickles.”

Just don’t be tempted to grab a gherkin!

Recipe

1. Begin by thinly slicing a red onion and putting the slices into a jar with a lid. Make sure it’s big enough for there to be a lot of liquid covering everything.
2. In a saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups of white vinegar, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of salt. This is the base for the pickle recipe, but if you want to make it more flavorful, you can add in things like allspice berries, whole peppercorns, garlic, herbs, or more.
3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat and once it’s boiled, pour it over the onions in the jar.
4. Put the lid on the jar and let it sit out until it’s completely cooled before putting it into the fridge.
5. Once it’s in the fridge, wait at least one day but up to 3 or 4 before you dig in.

“It was just something fun and it looked pretty. I took a picture of it on the counter and within five minutes it started getting shares and my phone was lighting up. Then a couple of places called us and did interviews, and we thought, ‘that’s it, it’ll go away.’ It didn’t go away,” said Deanna Farrar to Fox 2 St. Louis.

Israeli Pickles

Israeli style pickles are made with much smaller cucumbers and the brine that is used is usually very salty and are made with different spices and flavors like turmeric, onions, and mustard seeds.

Dill Pickles

Although there is no relationship between these pickles, they are normally what you will find at a New York deli. These pickles have a ton of garlic and salt but aren’t really pungent. They are best with really any type of deli sandwich, which is why they are the pickle of choice at almost every delicatessen.

Bread and Butter Pickles

These are the types of pickles you see that are normally cut in a crinkly style and are a definitely sweet pickle but they still have a tangy kick. These are the type of pickles that you might put in a burger at a cookout.
