Atkins plans pickling contest for May 2010

— A home-canned pickling contest is scheduled in conjunction with People For A Better Atkins' PickleFest in May 2010. The categories include pickled cucumbers, squash, peppers, okra, peaches, relishes and miscellaneous items. Pickles may have been canned in 2009 or 2010.

The Cooperative Extension Service guidelines for pickling will be used for judging. No store-bought pickling mixes may be used. Pickles must be made from scratch.

Brochures and recipes are available from the Pope County Extension Service at (501) 968-7098. Ribbons and cash prizes will be awarded.
