How to Use
Spoon it straight onto hot dogs, burgers, and bratwurst, or fold a tablespoon or two into egg salad, tuna salad, potato salad, and deviled egg filling. Stir it into mayonnaise with a squeeze of lemon for a quick tartar sauce, or blend it with mayo and ketchup for Thousand Island dressing. Keep the unopened jar in a cool pantry; once opened, cap tightly and refrigerate, and use a clean spoon each time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Bubbies Sweet Relish contain allergens?
Bubbies Sweet Relish is made from cucumbers, water, sugar, vinegar, salt, calcium chloride, celery seed, mustard seed, onion, red bell pepper, and turmeric, with no wheat, dairy, egg, or nuts in the recipe. It is manufactured in a facility that also processes anchovy, dairy, and tree nuts, so read the printed label if you manage a food allergy.
How should I store Bubbies Sweet Relish?
Unopened jars are shelf stable, so keep them in a cool, dry pantry away from direct sunlight. Once the seal is broken, close the lid tightly and store the jar in the refrigerator, where the relish keeps its crunch and flavor for several weeks. Always use a clean, dry spoon so nothing contaminates the brine.
What is the difference between Bubbies Sweet Relish and Bubbies Kosher Dill Relish?
Sweet Relish follows a bread and butter recipe: cucumbers in a vinegar and sugar brine with celery seed, mustard seed, and turmeric, so it tastes tangy and lightly sweet. Kosher Dill Relish is naturally fermented in salt brine with garlic and dill, contains no vinegar and no added sugar, and tastes savory and garlicky. Both are chopped for spooning.
Where is Bubbies Sweet Relish made?
This jar is a product of the USA, made by Bubbies Fine Foods, a California company that has produced pickles and relishes since 1982. Unlike the fermented Bubbies kosher dills, the Sweet Relish is a vinegar-brined relish, so it ships and stores at room temperature until opened. Every jar is Non-GMO Project Verified and gluten free.
I love this saurkraut and I order it from Amazon every time because I cannot find it in stores in my area. I eat it almost daily because it does help me a lot with digestion and I do think it improves gut microbiome.Twice I've ordered it from other sellers and it has arrived opened and leaking. Of course then it can't be eaten because no telling how long it's been open, and it should be refrigerated after opening.The companies did refund my money, so that was good. But the jars had to be thrown out.Well let me tell you this seller has the shipping process of this product figured out! I bought two and they arrived in super dooper thick bubble wrap. Each jar had its own enclosure and it was all intact and no leakage whatsoever. I was thoroughly impressed and relieved.Thanks for taking the time to ensure my products arrived perfectly!
While being sick with Covid, I got sick of the food I was eating, which was very basic. After looking up a tuna salad recipe, I got these pickles as a side. I hadn't meant to buy the spicy kind, but I decided to give them a try.I am suprised by how good these are. Crisp with eat bite, and just the right amount of spicy. My new go-to favorites. I've already eaten nearly the whole bottle! I will be buying more.
The media could not be loaded.
One of the jars received was of no use to me as it was damaged and no good for consumption. Pics have been provided. Other than that I would like to order more but will not if this is not resolved.
Don't get me wrong. Bubbies are the BEST!! Don Hermann and Ba-Tampte take a close back seat, HOWEVER, it's time to update your label, as its been quite some time now since you started adding calcium chloride, A PRESERVATIVE, to your ingredients, therefore, "no preservatives" is misleading. There is no shame or danger in calcium chloride -- just take it in stride, and correct your label, so you are being up front with consumers.
To understand these is to understand the process in which these are made. They are fresh pickles soaked in salt brine and not at all a vinegar water pickle. Hence the weird taste and color of the brine.
I am totally addicted to these pickles. I easily go through 2 jars a week
Love these, found them 10 years ago. Still look for them.💐💐💐
Enjoyable eating experience.If you’re not accustomed to fermented veggies or plain kefirs, the tartness may surprise you. I find it quite pleasant, followed by a bit of heat that builds, followed by a bit of cucumber skin bitterness.Mainstream pickles are crunchy from an aluminum additive, or at least that’s what i have heard. Bubbie’s is pleasantly crunchy but dont expect the same crunch as traditional pickles.Since these cucumbers are fermented, they may have post biotic benefits, but i wonder if the vinegar negates them.Please note, not all Bubbie’s cucumber products are fermented. Look for the word “fermented” on the front of the label.
I was searching for a good fermented dill pickle and ended my search as soon as this jar of Bubbies dill pickles arrived.These things are delicious and healthy - which is exactly what I was hoping to find.
Good
Best kraut ever! I found these at Publix in Florida. Couldn't find them anywhere in PA so ordered on-line through Amazon. I like to eat this without even warming it up. If I want to take the edge off when I am too close to lunch or dinner I will eat 1-2 forkful of this kraut and it does the trick and tastes great. I have tried a ton of kraut and this is the best.
It is very good tasting, just like in old country, but price is outrages!
Very good. Crispy, great flavor. Will purchase again.
Great tasting pickle. Good crunch. Both spicy and regular dulls are great.
This sauerkraut is wonderful. From now on I won't buy any other brand.
I was raised on fermented pickles. I LOVE them. The more sour, the better. And I don't mind if they are soft rather than crunchy, those are the truly sour ones. I love Bubbies pickles because it is reminiscent of what I grew up with. No vinegar added to these. I love their spicy ones even more. I hope Amazon Fresh will begin offering them more regularly. I'm a lazy fan who doesn't want to run to the local grocery store for them. But I will if I have too... lol
3star review because I’m not sure about the lack of a seal around the jar lid. Been buying Bubbies for years. Always a seal. Waiting for Bubbies company to respond. Also, liquid not as full as previous purchases..Okay, got a response today, 5/12/26, and Bubbies no longer seal the cap with plastic. So all is safe as long as lid pops on opening.
On time and As advertised.
Amazing great taste for those that appreciate a kick in your pickle. Just like Bubbies other pickle, nice and crunchy, and just the right amount of heat.
Delicious. Only place we can find these
My all time favorite pickles. Wish they sold these more places. Also wish they were cheaper but if you're looking for a great tasting, slightly spicy, crunchy pickle this is your go to.
These are the tastiest pickles in the world. Ibuy no others, ever. The brine is addictive. So tasty I flavor sauces with it. The pickles - perfection. Crunch and soft middle. So delicious I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS keep in the fridge. I once paid $27 dollars for a jar. I’d do it again. I’m going to have one now.
Best sauerkraut ever. Love it. And fast delivery also.
Excellent!!
Any time I don’t make my own - I buy Bubbies because they do not pasteurize the cabbage. This is the highest quality we have ever found without making our own.
If you are looking for TRULY fermented pickles without any vinegar to achieve a "pickle" taste and flavor these are for you. I was so happy to finally find pickles that don't list vinegar. Some may not realize but to get health benefits from pickles they need to be fermented ( a lengthy process that requires more care and timing) and many pickles manufacturers just use vinegar which is in my book an abomination.
The pickles were smaller than normal, but 100% tasty. This is my absolute favorite brand of pickles. Fermentation takes time, which means they're pricier than other pickles made from vinegar.
I originally bought these Bubbies Kosher Dills for the probiotic benefits, and they definitely deliver. You can tell immediately that these are the real deal, they taste incredibly fresh and high-quality. Unlike typical store-bought pickles, these have a unique, authentic crunch and flavor that sets them apart. If you're looking for a fermented pickle that actually tastes great, this is it.
