YOUR CLASSIC BREAD-AND-BUTTER PICKLES



Your Classic Bread-and-Butter Pickles image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     condiment

Yield About 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds pickling cucumbers (less than 5 inches long)
1 large or 2 medium onions (about 1 pound)
3 tablespoons kosher or other coarse salt
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 tablespoon yellow mustard seed
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves or allspice (optional)
3 cups cider vinegar
2 1/2 cups brown sugar

Steps:

  • Trim and discard the blossom ends of the cucumbers, then peel the onions and cut both into rounds about 1/4 inch thick. In a nonreactive bowl, toss them with the salt, then cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours. Drain well, rinse, drain again and then set the cucumbers and onions aside.
  • In a nonreactive pot, combine all the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring once or twice to dissolve the brown sugar. Reduce the heat to low, simmer for 3 minutes and then pour the liquid over the cucumbers and onions. The cucumbers should be amply covered or slightly afloat.
  • Allow to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate. These pickles have good flavor as soon as they are cool, but the flavor will deepen if you let them sit for 24 hours. They will keep, covered and refrigerated, for a month or more.

Tips:

1. Choose the Right Cucumbers: - Use fresh, firm, and unwaxed cucumbers for the best results. Kirby cucumbers are a popular choice due to their small size and crisp texture. 2. Prepare the Brine: - The brine is a crucial component that gives the pickles their flavor and texture. Use a combination of vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and pickling spices to create a flavorful brine. 3. Use Fresh Herbs and Spices: - Incorporate fresh herbs and spices, such as dill, garlic, and mustard seeds, into the brine to enhance the flavor of the pickles. 4. Sterilize the Jars and Lids: - To ensure the safety and longevity of your pickles, sterilize the jars and lids by boiling them in water for several minutes before use. 5. Pack the Cucumbers Tightly: - Pack the cucumber slices tightly into the jars, ensuring that they are fully submerged in the brine. This will help prevent spoilage and ensure an even distribution of flavor. 6. Allow Sufficient Time for Fermentation: - Give the pickles ample time to ferment. The fermentation process can take several weeks or even months, depending on the desired level of sourness. 7. Store Properly: - Once the pickles are ready, store them in a cool, dark place for optimal flavor and preservation.

Conclusion:

Creating crispy bread and butter pickles at home is a rewarding and delicious endeavor. By following the tips and carefully executing the recipe, you can enjoy these classic pickles as a tangy and refreshing addition to your meals.
