BREAD-AND-BUTTER PICKLES



Bread-and-Butter Pickles image

For these pickles, I spiced up classic, sweet bread-and-butter slices with allspice and coriander. Generally, the smaller the cucumbers, the more crisp the pickles will be. I used very small Kirby cucumbers, and a month later mine still crunch with each bite.

1 pound Kirby cucumbers
2 tablespoons coarse kosher salt
3 large sprigs fresh dill

Tips:

  • Choose the right cucumbers. For best results, use pickling cucumbers, which are smaller and have thinner skin than slicing cucumbers. They will hold their shape better in the pickling process.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices. This will give your pickles the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount by half.
  • Pack the jars tightly. This will help to prevent the pickles from floating and becoming discolored.
  • Process the jars in a boiling water bath for the recommended amount of time. This will help to preserve the pickles and prevent spoilage.
  • Let the pickles cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent the jars from breaking.

Conclusion:

Bread and butter pickles are a delicious and easy-to-make condiment that can be enjoyed all year long. They are perfect for sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, and salads. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own bread and butter pickles that will be sure to impress your family and friends.
