November 14 is National Pickle Day. Bubbies, a favorite of mine for fermented kosher dill pickles, has recipes to incorporate pickles in your breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert on the festive holiday. We conclude with the dessert. Peanut butter paired with Bubbies’ sweet bread & butter chips are wonderfully delicious. And in cupcakes, it’s moist, satisfying and an amazingly huge hit.
