Pickles, pineapple, and pickled jalapeño might sound like an oddball combination, but the trio is surprisingly simpatico. Pineapple's bright, tropical acidity melds with the briny sweetness of the pickles — spicy bread and butter pickles are ideal — while jalapeños bring subtle heat. Chips are an obvious pairing; flaky white fish, tacos, and pork chops all would benefit from a dollop as well.
