    Recipe Introduction


    Bread and butter pickles are called thus because they are good enough to eat at every meal.

    List of Ingredients




    Bread + Butter Pickles #5

    7 slim medium cukes
    5 crisp medium onions
    1 bell pepper, chopped
    1 small sweet red pepper (chopped)
    1/4 C. salt
    cracked ice

    Pickling solution:
    2 1/2 C. white vinegar
    2 1/2 C. granulated sugar
    1 T. mustard seed
    1 tsp. celery seed
    1/2 tsp. whole cloves
    3/4 tsp. turmeric

    Mix veggies, mix in salt and cracked ice. Put in fridge or a
    cool place and let stand for at least three hours, then drain.

    Mix pickling solution. Add to drained veggies in kettle. Bring
    mix to boiling, remove veggies to clean, sterilized jars
    immediately. Pour hot liquid over to cover leaving ½-inch of
    headspace (no more). Wipe jar rims, checking for nicks, with a
    clean damp cloth, then place hot, sterilized lids on and screw
    the rings on firmly-tight. Place filled jars on a dry folded
    towel. Quickly repeat this process with the rest so that the
    veggies do not cool down. If pickles in the kettle are allowed
    to boil, they will soften.

    These pickles are very crisp and fresh tasting. Our favorites.
    (I also slice a batch of smaller cukes lengthwise for spears, and
    use the same recipe with great results).
