Product Overview

You have been searching for the perfect pickled sausage.

Not too hot. Not too mild. Not too vinegary. Not too soft. Not pretending to be something it is not.

We know. The journey has been long.

Well, friend, welcome home.

Big John’s Pickled Sausage is Red Smith’s best-selling sausage, and after one bite, it is easy to understand why. We are still not exactly sure who Big John is, but we do know this: the man put his name on a mighty fine sausage.

The first thing that hits you is the flavor. Then comes that firm texture. Then the snap.

Yes, the snap.

These sausages have a thin casing that gives you that classic bite people love. They are lightly spicy, full of flavor, and do not have that overpowering vinegar smell or taste that can scare off the faint of heart. As one of our customers put it, “It’s not too hot and it’s not too mild.”

That is the sweet spot.

Big John’s Pickled Sausage is juicy, flavorful, and packed in a bold pickling solution with plenty of personality. Big John apparently likes them juicy, and we are not here to argue with the man.

    Big Johns...my current favorite medication for Penrose dissapearance!!!!

    Posted by Aged Carpenter on 8th Dec 2014

    Got this as a gift from my dad. We can't find any local stores that carry the pickled sausages in St Louis so my Dad ordered two jars. This is the closest we have found that satisfies the "whole in our hearts" left by Penrose discontinuing their jarred sausages. These are a fat sausage, but have decent firm texture and tolerable salt levels with just a light heat and plenty of tang! We tried the Hanna's side by side....Hanna's was disgusting and were inedible for us. We literally threw away Five jars of Hanna's that we drove 2 1/2hrs to buy at a Sam's in Southern Missouri. Big John's...I need to find a place that sells you big guys, and I will drive hours to find you!!!!!!

    Better than Hannah's

    Posted by Donald on 11th Nov 2014

    well, I finally got around to trying hannah's sausage, which should be called hannah's pickled hot dogs, if i had a coice i would pick your sausages over hannahs, even though they did not look appetizing when they arrived (MIDDLE OF SUMMER), anyway this is my opinion. thank you. Pickled Store comment: Big John's sausage (and all Big John's products) have a lot of fat content and occasionally, when the container is exposed to cooler temperatures, the fat will congeal on the surface and sides of the container. Allowing the pickled sausage to warm up will return the fat to the pickling solution. This pickled sausage recipe is the best on the planet for pickled sausage (in our humble opinion).

    One Of The Top Things I Miss From Living In Florida

    Posted by Jerry Bronner on 6th Aug 2014

    After spending 50 years living in Florida and moving to the Chicago area to be close to my only family, my brother, there are three things I really miss. Stopping for my little cup of Cuban Coffee, Guava pastry and most of all my Big John's Pickled Sausage. Found in most every bar I stopped in or purchased at Sam's Club the best ever.
