What it is

These pickle chips are ready to eat directly from the container. They are commonly placed on top of hamburgers or layered into sandwiches to add a burst of flavor and a satisfying crunch. They can also be served alongside fried foods like chicken or fish. For a different approach, they can be chopped and mixed into potato salad or coleslaw to introduce a sweet and sour element. Their bright flavor can also cut through the richness of certain dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to dill pickles, bread and butter pickles are noticeably sweeter due to the addition of sugar in the brine. They also tend to have a softer crunch and a more pronounced vinegar tang. Dill pickles are typically more savory and less sweet.

How to keep the rest
