Freshly picked, very crisp & delicious in lots of ways- served as hors d’oeuvres, in salads, with cocktails, added to pasta dishes, crudité platters, used as plate garnishes or enjoyed right out of the jar as a snack. Use them chopped in your favorite sauces recipes .Classic kosher dill pickles are great topped on baguettes toast or as sides to cold meats.
