REFRIGERATOR BREAD AND BUTTER PICKLES

Refrigerator Bread and Butter Pickles image

This recipe always reminds me of Sunday dinner at my grandmother's house. It was always a huge spread and there were always bread and butter pickles on the table. She made them the old fashion way. I don't have the time for that and finally tweaked a refrigerator version to taste like hers. I hope you enjoy them.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 lb pickling cucumbers, sliced
1/2 onion, sliced
1 c water
1 c apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 c sugar
1 Tbsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp whole mustard seeds
1/2 tsp tumeric
1/2 tsp celery seeds
1/2 tsp pickling spice

Steps:

1. Pack the onion and cucumber slices into 2, one quart jars. It'll probably take between 1 1/2 and 2 pounds of cucumbers. Be sure to pack them, not just loosely place them in the jars.
2. Note: I usually do one jar per the recipe and add 1/2 of a sliced jalapeno pepper to the other to satisfy the heat lovers here
3. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a non-reactive pan.
4. Bring to a boil and simmer for 3 minutes.
5. Immediately pour over the cucumbers dividing between the two jars. Be sure the cucumbers are covered, if you need to top it off with a little water it's OK.
6. Store in the refrigerator. It's best if you wait a week, if you can, before eating. Will keep up to 2 months.
7. Note: while waiting for them to cure I usually shake them occasionally

Yield 2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 pounds pickling cucumbers, Sliced or quartered
1/2 yellow onion, sliced
2 red jalapeno peppers, thinly sliced into rings
3 tablespoons Kosher salt
2 cups distilled white vinegar
1/2 cups white sugar
1/4 cup water
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 tablespoon mustard seed
1 teaspoon celery seeds
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Steps:

Combine cucumbers, onion, and peppers in a bowl; pour kosher salt over the top and stir to coat completely. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, 2 to 4 hours. Rinse cucumber mixture in a colander under cold water until all salt is washed away, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain. Stir vinegar, sugar, water, garlic, mustard seed, celery seed, peppercorns, turmeric, and ground cloves together in a saucepan; bring to a simmer and cook until brine flavors combine, about 2 minutes. Add cucumber mixture to brine; heat until almost boiling, remove from heat, and cool completely. Transfer to jars and store in the refrigerator.

Tips:

Choose the right cucumbers. Pickling cucumbers are best for this recipe, as they are small and firm. If you can't find pickling cucumbers, you can use regular cucumbers, but they may not be as crisp.
Use fresh herbs and spices. Fresh herbs and spices will give your pickles the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
Make sure the vinegar solution is hot. The hot vinegar solution will help to preserve the pickles and prevent them from spoiling.
Let the pickles cool completely before eating them. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.

Conclusion:

Bread and butter pickles are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They are perfect for picnics, potlucks, or just a quick snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own bread and butter pickles that are sure to impress your friends and family.
