BREAD & BUTTER PICKLES

These homemade sliced gherkins are addictively sweet and salty - make a batch and enjoy in burgers, salads, or with cold meats

Provided by Jennifer Joyce

Categories     Condiment

Time 20m

Yield Makes 500ml

Number Of Ingredients 9

400g Lebanese or Kirby cucumber (about 6-7 small ones), cut into 1cm thick slices (available at Whole Foods or from a greengrocer)
1 medium onion , cut into thick slices
2 tbsp rock or flaked sea salt
300ml apple cider vinegar
140g golden caster sugar
¼ tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp celery seeds
¼ tsp chilli flakes
2 tbsp yellow or brown mustard seeds

Steps:

  • Put the cucumbers, onion slices and salt in a sieve set over a bowl, and cover with ice and something to weigh it down. Let stand for 1-2 hrs in the fridge, then drain well. (This helps to push the water out of the cucumber, which means it will stay crunchy later when brined.)
  • Meanwhile, put the vinegar, 200ml water, the sugar, turmeric, celery seeds, chilli flakes and mustard seeds in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 mins. Remove from the heat and leave to cool to room temperature. Put the cucumber and onion mixture in a 500ml- capacity jar or sealable plastic container, pour over the brining liquid, cover and seal. Chill for at least 3 hrs. Will keep in the fridge for 2 weeks.

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.

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.

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:

  • Choose fresh, firm cucumbers. This will ensure that your pickles are crisp and flavorful.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the cucumbers. This will help to prevent them from bruising.
  • Make sure the pickling solution is completely cool before pouring it over the cucumbers. This will help to prevent the pickles from becoming tough.
  • Store the pickles in a cool, dark place. This will help them to stay fresh and flavorful for up to a year.

Bread and butter pickles are a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in many different ways.
