Years ago, the Skufca family would fire up the smokehouse to cure all their fresh meats. One day, Grandpa Skufca accidentally left some of the fresh cucumbers inside the smokehouse. Grandma Skufca had a good laugh and decided to go ahead and pickle those too, just for fun. Using Grandpas smoked cucumbers and her own delicious pickle recipe, she created the first smoked pickles. The amusing story of the smoked pickles was passed down over the generations, down to their great-grandson, Greg, who has shared his Grandmas pickle recipes with the world. He enjoyed the story of the smoked pickles so much that he has worked hard to recreate that delicious mistake and finally succeeded. The result is the Tru Smoked Black Pepper pickle a pickle with a Truly original outdoor smoked flavor that cannot be found in any other pickle on the market. We think Grandma would be proud, we know Grandpa would be. Each jar is hand packed with our trademark grape leaf to keep each pickle crisp and fresh. These pickles combine Old World techniques with New World originality. We know you will love this unique flavor. Tru Pickles is dedicated to sharing our 100 year old recipes with the world even the accidentally delicious ones.
