I don't know if you could ever figure out who first made pickles, much less who actually started the process known as pickling. I would bet it is at least 300 hundred years old. Ben Franklin made mention of them so that's over 200 hundred years. This may go back as far as wine making itself, since vinegar ( used in pickling) is nothing more than wine that "went south".

Pickles are made by bathing small-sized cucumbers in a bath of water, vinegar, salt, garlic and other spices. Pickles can be cured in a clay crock or immediately canned so that the cucumbers are infused with the pickling spices. Who first made them? Who knows. I made my first pickles this year and they are so kickass that I take the top seat of pickle making!!

farmer brown went to the seed store,this was back in 1874 June i think.the owner had these new seeds,so farmer brown bought some and he bought to many,but he planted them anyway.when harvest time came along he had to many cucumbers,so he gave away all he could and still had a pile.so he put some in jars with vinegar,he new the vinegar would keep them from going bad.and that's how the pickle was born.
