MICROWAVE BREAD AND BUTTER PICKLES



Microwave Bread and Butter Pickles image

Danny and I had never put anything up like this and tried this just to see how it would work..It is a great recipe! He loves them. I have doubled the recipe at times to speed up the process.

Categories     Vegetables

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large cucumber, sliced about 1/8" thick or bigger
1 tsp salt
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp mustard seed
1 c white sugar
1/2 c distilled white vinegar
1/4 tsp celery seed
1/4 tsp ground turmeric

Steps:

  • 1. Wash and slice cucumbers. Slice thicker than dills. I use a ridged pickle slicer and it is great!
  • 2. In a large microwave safe bowl mix, salt, onion, mustard seeds, white sugar, vinegar, celery seed and turmeric. Stir until all is mixed together and sugar is starting to melt.
  • 3. Add your cucumbers to this mixture. I judge how many cucumbers to add by how well the mixture covers the contents of bowl. I double the recipe if I have a lot of cucumbers to do.
  • 4. Place in Microwave on high for 7 to 8 minutes and few longer if you double the recipe. You will need to stir at least once during the cooking. Don't cook them too long you want a little crunch to them.
  • 5. Take them out of microwave and let them cool a bit before you place them in sterile jars and then place in fridge until serving. This will make one or two jars of pickles.
  • 6. If I am doing a lot of cucumbers I cut up my cucumbers and let them soak in water and in a large bowl mix up the ingredients mixture and then add onions and cucumbers. I then pour that mixture into another bowl to cook and repeat so I have some already mixed and ready to cook when one batch comes out of microwave.

Like a bread and butter pickle and really super easy. You can even play with the proportions a bit. I like to increase the vinegar, salt and spices a bit but you could make it sweeter too. Be prepared to make this one over and over if you have any pickle lovers in the house.
