How to Use
Shake the jar until the brine turns cloudy, then serve the pickles cold, whole or sliced, alongside burgers, hot dogs, deli sandwiches, grilled cheese, or a cheese and charcuterie board. Chop them into egg salad or tuna salad, use a spear as a Bloody Mary garnish, or dip slices in batter for fried pickles. The brine can be used as a marinade for chicken or pork. Keep the jar refrigerated at all times, with the pickles submerged in brine, and use a clean fork to remove them.
About Bubbies
Bubbies Fine Foods was founded in 1982 and takes its name from the Yiddish word for grandmother, a nod to the old-world Eastern European pickling traditions behind its recipes. The company ferments its kosher dills in a salt brine with garlic, dill, and spices rather than pickling them in vinegar, and its products are found in the refrigerated section of natural and specialty grocers across North America.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Bubbies Kosher Dill Pickles contain allergens?
The ingredient list is cucumbers, water, salt, garlic, dill, spices, mustard seed, and calcium chloride, and the jar is labeled gluten-free, OU Kosher, and Non-GMO Project Verified. Mustard seed is a declared allergen in Canada and some other countries, so anyone with a mustard allergy should take note. Always read the printed label on the jar for current allergen information.
Do Bubbies pickles need to be refrigerated, and why is the brine cloudy?
Yes. Bubbies Kosher Dill Pickles are a live, naturally fermented product and must be kept refrigerated from purchase until the last pickle is eaten. The cloudiness in the brine comes from the fermentation cultures suspended in the liquid, which is normal for an unpasteurized pickle. Shake the jar until the brine is cloudy before serving.
What is the difference between Bubbies pickles and regular dill pickles?
Most shelf-stable dill pickles are made with vinegar and are heat processed. Bubbies pickles contain no vinegar at all; their sour, tangy flavor develops through lacto-fermentation in a salt brine with garlic and dill. The result is a crunchy, garlicky pickle with a more complex flavor and a brine that is cloudy rather than clear.
Where are Bubbies Kosher Dill Pickles made, and how many servings are in a jar?
This jar is a product of Canada. The 33 fl oz (976 mL) glass jar holds about 20 servings of 1 oz (28 g), roughly half a pickle each, with 0 calories, 0 g added sugars, and 270 mg of sodium per serving. It is sold as a single jar or in packs of 3 and 6.
