It’s no secret I am a lover of all things dill pickle. And ever since the craze of my Dill Pickle Soup recipe, I have found a camaraderie with many dill pickle aficionados around the globe. If you do not have a deep affection for the dill pickle, then this butter might not be for you. It’s okay….more for us.
Making flavored butter is also somewhat of a thing for me. I have a refrigerator full of little ramekins filled with different butter flavor experiments. It all started with my youngest son who does not like mayonnaise (something I can barely wrap my head around), but enjoys butter on his sandwiches. Isn’t that a British thing?
Anyway, I felt like he was missing out on some flavor in his sandwich with not loving mayo. I began adding seasoning to butters for his sandwich. Bingo, they were a hit. The butters I make for him are simple with slight flavoring (garlic powder, onion powder etc). However, the flavored butters I make for myself are a little more gourmet and I like to push the limits.
It was only a matter of time before Dill Pickle Butter creeped its way into my life.
I am happy to eat this dill pickle flavored spread on toast, with nothing else. However, it is also amazing on toasted bread made for a turkey sandwich. The plain turkey lets the dill pickle flavor shine through. Just try it.
Adding a tiny bit of finely chopped dill pickle enhances the flavor.
It’s perfect just like this.

I’m definitely team dill pickle! This is so fun. I’d slather it on rye bread!

Whaaaat. This is the BEST idea ever!

I love dill pickles! One of my favorite ways to eat them is a peanut butter and dill pickle sandwich with mayonnaise on rye bread. Or any bread for that matter! So your dill butter is a must try!
Cathy says
I have done the Dill Pickle/Peanut Butter/Mayo thing and it’s okay….but it does not compare to this version. Please try it. https://noblepig.com/2014/11/dill-pickle-sandwich/

I’m not a dill pickle fan, so this isn’t going to be my favorite.
I’m a lot like your son, and the last person in my family to come from Britain came over in the 1700’s.

As a child, I loved white toast with mayo and a few spoonfuls of pickle juice. Yum! Will have to try this.

Wow. I am making this today. As part owner of a pickle and sauerkraut company in Sonoma County, this is going to get shared! My first time on this site! Wonderful.

I think this would be good on hot dog buns. Think I’ll try it July 4th!

I’d say butter on bread is a bit more of a european thing in general. I never had mayo on sandwiches until I came to the U.S really. In Sweden, butter on bread is a must have.
Lisa says
That looks like a winning combination!
