Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Yield Makes about 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds Kirby cucumbers or summer squashes, cut into 1/8-inch-thick rounds (about 6 1/2 cups)
1 medium white onion (about 8 ounces), halved and thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
2 heaping tablespoons coarse salt
2 cups ice cubes
3 cups cider vinegar or distilled white vinegar
2 1/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon whole mustard seeds
3/4 teaspoon celery seed
3/4 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes or 3 dried hot chiles

Steps:

  • To draw out excess liquid and increase crunch, toss cucumbers and onion with salt in a large colander. Add ice, and toss again. Place over a bowl, and refrigerate, tossing occasionally, for 3 hours. Drain. Rinse well, and drain again.
  • Bring vinegar, sugar, mustard and celery seeds, peppercorns, turmeric, and red-pepper flakes to a boil in a saucepan. Add cucumbers and onion. Return to a boil (if using squashes, add them, then remove from heat; do not return to a boil).
  • Ladle into 3 hot sterilized pint jars, leaving about 1/2 inch below each jar's neck. Wipe rims of jars with a clean, damp cloth; cover tightly with sterilized lids and screw tops. Using tongs or a jar clamp, transfer jars to a rack in a large canning pot or a large, deep pot filled with hot water, being sure to keep jars upright at all times. (Jars should be spaced 1 inch apart, and should not touch sides of pot.) Cover with water by 1 inch. Cover pot, and bring to a boil. Process jars in boiling water for 10 minutes. Let cool. Press down on each lid. If lid pops back, it's not sealed; refrigerate unsealed jars immediately, and use within 1 month. Sealed jars can be stored in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.

CHEF JOHN'S BREAD AND BUTTER PICKLES



Chef John's Bread and Butter Pickles image

At the end of summer during the Great Depression the excess cucumber crop was sliced, salted, pickled, and put up in jars for the cold, lean months ahead. I can just imagine what a treat it was to fill a sandwich with these sweet crunchy coins (bread and butter pickles, as they came to be known). I'm sure it was a wonderful break from what must have been a fairly flavorless existence. For longer storage, you can process the pickles in canning jars in a boiling water canner.

These don't need to be refrigerated until you open a jar.

BREAD AND BUTTER SQUASH PICKLES (REGULAR AND SUGAR-FREE)



Bread and Butter Squash Pickles (Regular and Sugar-Free) image

Last year we wound up with a bumper crop of yellow squash. Trying to be creative in how we put it up, I experimented with a regular cucumber pickle recipe and came up with these. Turns out, we liked them better than cucumber pickles! They're crisp and tasty on sandwiches, or on the side with a bowl of soup beans. Or, you can...

Time 1h10m

FRIED BREAD AND BUTTER PICKLES WITH BUTTERMILK CHIVE DRESSING



Fried Bread and Butter Pickles with Buttermilk Chive Dressing image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 5h45m

Yield 6 to 8 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 gallon vegetable oil, for frying
1 pound all-purpose flour
Bread and Butter Pickles, recipe follows
Kosher salt
Buttermilk Chive Dressing, recipe follows
3 pounds pickling cucumbers
2 tablespoons pickling salt
Ice
2 teaspoons whole yellow mustard seed
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
4 cups apple cider vinegar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 cup sour cream
4 ounces buttermilk
2 ounces apple cider vinegar
1 bunch fresh chives, cut into small rounds
1 bunch fresh dill, picked and finely chopped
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the vegetable oil in an 8-quart stainless steel soup pot and place on medium heat until the oil reaches 350 degrees F. Place the flour in a medium mixing bowl and, with a slotted spoon, add the Bread and Butter Pickles to the flour. Coat the pickles with the flour, making sure they are individually coated, as the pickles tend to stick together. This is easy to achieve if done in 2 or 3 small batches. Add the pickles to the hot oil and fry, turning once, until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Drain into a paper-towel-lined mixing bowl to absorb any excess grease. Season with kosher salt. Serve on a small plate with a ramekin of Buttermilk Chive Dressing.
  • Slice the cucumbers 1/4-inch thick by hand or on a mandoline into large mixing bowl. Toss the cucumbers with the pickling salt and cover with a thin layer of ice. Set aside for 4 hours. Drain, rinse and drain the cucumbers again. Toss the drained cucumbers with the mustard seed and crushed red pepper. Transfer to a storage container, leaving enough room for the brine. Make the brine by combining the vinegar, 4 cups water, the sugar and turmeric in a nonreactive saucepot. Brine to a boil and pour over the cucumbers. Let cool to room temperature before storing in a refrigerator for 3 weeks before using.
  • In a small mixing bowl, add the sour cream, buttermilk and apple cider vinegar and whisk until the ingredients are incorporated. Add the chives, dill, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste and stir once more. Cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. For best results, do a day or two ahead of time before using.

Steps:

  • Divide cucumber slices among canning jars. Add 1/2 teaspoon pickling spice and 1/2 teaspoon turmeric to each jar.
  • Stir vinegar, water, sugar, and sea salt together in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook and stir until the sugar and salt dissolve; cook at a boil for 2 minutes.
  • Carefully fill jars with brine to within 1/2 inch of the rim, covering the cucumbers completely. Discard any leftover brine.
  • Place the lids on the jars. Refrigerate at least 24 hours before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.

WATERMELON RIND BREAD AND BUTTER PICKLES



Watermelon Rind Bread and Butter Pickles image

Not as sweet as common watermelon pickles, and fantastic on turkey sandwiches (and don't forget to use the onions!). You can use cucumbers instead, but I prefer the firm texture of watermelon rind. (For crispness, I soak the cubes in a little alum and water, which is not recommended any longer.) If you leave the cubes big -- or even cut the rind into spears -- they're delicious straight from the jar and on relish trays.

3 -4 cups white vinegar

Steps:

  • To prepare the melon, use a spoon to scrape away all the pink.

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Cucumbers: Select firm, deep green cucumbers without blemishes or bruises. English or pickling cucumbers are ideal for bread and butter pickles.
  • Use a Quality Vinegar: Opt for a good quality white vinegar or apple cider vinegar. Avoid using distilled vinegar as it lacks flavor and acidity.
  • Pack the Jars Properly: Ensure the cucumber slices and other vegetables are tightly packed into the jars, leaving minimal headspace. This prevents the pickles from floating and ensures they are evenly submerged in the pickling liquid.
  • Follow the Processing Time: Adhere to the processing time specified in the recipe. This step is crucial for ensuring the safety and quality of your pickles. Longer processing times will result in softer pickles, while shorter times will yield crisper pickles.
  • Allow the Pickles to Age: Let the pickles rest and age in a cool, dark place for at least two weeks before enjoying. This aging process allows the flavors to develop and mellow, resulting in more flavorful pickles.
