YOUR CLASSIC BREAD-AND-BUTTER PICKLES

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.

BREAD AND BUTTER PICKLES



Bread and Butter Pickles image

This was my husband's grandmother's recipe. It is so good. Store-bought pickles don't even come close. This is a good recipe for anyone who would like to try pickling, but hasn't done it before. It's quite straight forward, not a lot of ingredients.

Provided by cuisinebymae

Categories     Vegetable

Time 50m

Yield 3 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 9

15 cups sliced pickling cucumbers
3 onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup coarse salt
4 cups cracked ice
2 1/2 cups cider vinegar
2 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1 tablespoon mustard seeds

Steps:

  • Combine cucumbers, onions, salt and ice in a large bowl.
  • Mix well.
  • Put a weight on and allow to stand 3 hours. (For a weight, I use a plate with a gallon bottle of vinegar or water on top of it).
  • Rinse and drain thoroughly.
  • Combine vinegar, sugar, turmeric, celery seed and mustard seed in a large pot.
  • Add drained cucumbers.
  • Place pot on medium low heat.
  • Bring almost to a boil, but DO NOT ALLOW TO BOIL.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Seal in sterilized jars, 10 minutes in a hot water bath.
  • Easy way to sterilize jars: Wash them well in hot soapy water.
  • Dry them off.
  • Put on a cookie sheet, right side up, at 225°F for 15 minutes.
  • Turn off oven and leave them in there until you need them.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cucumbers for different flavors and textures. English cucumbers are mild and crisp, while pickling cucumbers are smaller and have a more pronounced flavor.
  • Choose cucumbers that are firm and free of blemishes.
  • Soak the cucumbers in ice water for at least 2 hours before pickling. This will help to remove the bitterness and make the pickles more crisp.
  • Use a combination of vinegar, sugar, and spices to create a flavorful brine. Common spices used in bread and butter pickles include mustard seeds, celery seeds, and turmeric.
  • Bring the brine to a boil, then let it cool slightly before pouring it over the cucumbers. This will help to preserve the pickles and prevent them from becoming too soft.
  • Store the pickles in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks before eating. This will allow the flavors to develop and mellow.

Conclusion:

Bread and butter pickles are a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on their own or as a complement to a variety of dishes. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own bread and butter pickles at home. So next time you're looking for a unique and flavorful pickle, give this recipe a try!
