Pickles are one of my favourite condiments. I LOVE all sorts of pickles and these keto bread and butter pickles are really easy to make. I love to put them on cheese and crackers or on top of hot dogs and burgers. We like to have a jar of these in the fridge, so we always have some on hand. We even served these for lunch when family came to visit and my brother loved them and asked for the recipe.

Pickles on keto

It can be really hard to find pickles at the supermarket with clean ingredients. Ceres organic pickles have long been my go to from the supermarket. They can be found in the health section of Woolworths. We have also found that Costco have a couple of great dill pickle options.

If you prefer a sweet pickle like these bread and butter pickles, we definitely recommend making your own using sweetener instead of sugar. We are yet to find a sweeter style pickle in the supermarket that uses sweetener. Luckily these keto bread and butter pickles are really easy to make.

Bread & Butter pickles?

Bread and butter pickles are usually a much sweeter style of pickle which are traditionally pickled with a mixture of vinegar, sugar and spices. To make this version sugar free, so it is more keto-friendly, we have substituted the sugar for a granulated sweetener. Our version of bread and nutter pickles is so close to the original ones we have tried before that I am not sure you could tell the difference!

Due to the sweetness these pickles are the perfect compliment to cheese, cold meats, burgers and hot dogs! We love to enjoy some of these pickles with some cheddar cheese on a seed cracker for a quick and tasty snack. They are also delicious mixed in with your tuna and mayo or boiled egg and mayo, or with some sliced leg ham.

Keto condiments

finding some great keto condiments that you have can in the fridge and pantry are going to help make your keto and low carb lifestyle sustainable. We are very lucky in Australia now to have some great options that you can find either in the local supermarkets or at online stores like low carb emporium or iherb.

These are some of our go to condiments that we always have stocked in the fridge or pantry.

Another great option is making your own condiments so that you can control the ingredients that go into them. Until we began our keto journey we had no idea how much sugar and vegetable oil we were consuming in just our condiments alone.

If you are using a fine salt, not sea salt flakes, then I would use less so as not to over salt it.
