Deli jar contents
Pickles are cucumbers preserved in brine or vinegar, though the term extends to any vegetable preserved this way: pickled onions, pickled beets.
In British English, pickle (singular) often means a tangy relish or chutney.
To be in a pickle is to be in a difficult situation.
The verb pickle means to preserve in brine: We pickled the excess cucumbers from the garden.
