Introducing “Dill” flavoured Australian pickles made with Qukes® baby cucumbers. Produced by Three Three’s these tasty pickles have an American style flavour with dill and peppercorns. With minimal sugar, they are a healthy and delicious option to add to burgers and wraps. Perfect for entertaining and summer BBQ’s. Read on ahead to find recipe suggestions on how to use the pickles.
The partnership between Perfection Fresh and Three Three’s – two iconic family-owned Australian companies came about from Three Three’s desire to create a premium range of pickles using Aussie grown produce, which previously hadn’t existed on mainstream supermarket shelves. For us at Perfection Fresh Qukes® it has enabled greater utilisation of the entire crop – some Qukes® baby cucumbers grow in different shapes and sizes – while there’s nothing wrong with the produce it doesn’t fit within the existing pack formats.
Rather than product going to waste, this partnership enables Perfection Fresh and Three Three’s to include Qukes® as part of the new McAlpine Signature Range. It is an excellent example of crop utilization and environmental sustainability helping to ensure that all the Qukes® that are grown can be enjoyed by consumers. The Qukes® used in the pickles are sourced from our Two Wells glasshouses as well as from our strategically aligned growers.
This is the first ever partnership between Perfection Fresh and Three Threes with plans for future products and collaborations in the future.
The new McAlpine pickles range is available on the shelves of Woolworths and Coles supermarkets. There are three products in the range – the first being the Australian pickles “dill” flavoured featuring Qukes® baby cucumbers. Other products in the range include Australian Gherkins Sweet Sliced and Australian Chilli Gherkins.
The dill flavoured Australian pickles featuring Qukes® baby cucumbers can be used in a variety of ways such as:
Add them to your favourite burger – hamburger, salmon burger, grilled chicken or veggie burger
Use them to make your next lunch wrap or sandwich
Add the pickle rounds to garden-fresh salads (they are delicious with Mix-a-Mato® tomatoes and Minicaps® baby capsicums)
Add them to cheese boards and grazing platters – perfect for entertaining
Or simply just eat them as is
