White Family Farms'

Bread and butter with jalapeno pickles

Made with cloves, coriander, jalapenos, salt and vinegar, these addictive pickles ($5-$7) start off with a balanced butter flavor - but not for long. "It's got a little heat that sneaks up, but doesn't chase you away," says owner Tom White. "These have just the right amount of sweetness and heat. You'll want to pick up another." 216-577-8069, whitesfamilyfarm.com
