Is there a tasty way to counter the dreaded kid's sugar high? Possibly with the Picklesickle or pickle pop. A company in Seguin Texas (don't worry, you can order them online) makes a frozen pickle juice popsicle called the picklesickle. It is interesting to note that they don't just use the leftover vinegar and brine from pickling, but actually squeeze the juice out of the pickles, just like the orange juice you had this morning. They have a good website and note several scientific studies where vinegar has been used as a anti-glycemic agent to help diabetics control blood sugar levels. It is an interesting concept, and since summer is coming, and pickles are always a big hit at our house, I have no doubt that we will be trying them soon. If it actually works to control the sugar high, it may become a year-round treat.
