ST. LOUIS — Anyone can make a dill pickle. But to make strawberry-flavored pickles, or Fireball whiskey-flavored or hickory sweet hot bacon-flavored pickles — that takes a specific kind of talent.
Aliska Walker is the owner and creative genius behind Aliska’s Amazing Pickles, a pickle company that is as unusual as some of its flavors. Jars of her pickles, from jalapeño hot to sweet garlic to bubble-gum, are available at her St. Louis Hills store, the Soulard Farmers Market on Saturdays and a host of area gas stations and other stores, and can be ordered online through Walmart and her own site, aliskasamazingpickles.com.
But the retail side of Aliska’s Amazing Pickles is almost mundane, compared to some of its other offerings.
