Pickling is big business these days. DIYers, doomsday preppers, and pros alike are rediscovering the benefits of the practice. On the professional side of things, Pacific Pickle Works has been making West Coast style pickled products for almost 15 years, winning some pretty tasty awards in the process.

For the weekend early riser, PPW crafts a superb Bloody Mary Elixir. It doesn't contain any tomato juice, just the brand's homemade blend of spicy goodness that features house-made Worcestershire sauce. It's enough for up to a half-gallon round of Bloody Marys and can even be used for cooking with chicken or chili.
