Bread and butter pickles are a type of sweet pickle made from cucumbers. They are typically sliced into thin rounds and pickled in a mixture of vinegar, sugar, and spices, which gives them their distinctive sweet and tangy flavor. These pickles are often enjoyed as a condiment or snack. The name "bread and butter" comes from the traditional pairing of these pickles with sandwiches, particularly ham or turkey sandwiches. They can also be served alongside barbecue dishes or used in salads. Their crunchy texture and sweet taste make them a popular choice for many pickle lovers.
