BREAD AND BUTTER PICKLES
Steps:
- Slice the cucumbers 1/4-inch thick and discard the ends. Set the sliced cucumber into a colander. Then place the colander into an empty bowl that will allow space for drainage between the colander and the bowl. Mix the cucumber slices with 2 teaspoons salt, and then place them in the fridge to drain for 12 hours or overnight. The salt will draw out excess moisture from the cucumbers so that your pickling solution doesn't get watered down with the natural juices of the cucumber.
- Twelve hours later, or simply the next day, you want to toast your mustard seeds, coriander seeds, celery seeds and turmeric. Just place them in a small saute pan over medium heat, moving them around in the pan until you get the aroma of the spices. Remove the spices from the pan and set aside.
- Thinly slice the Vidalia onion and set aside
- Take the cucumbers out of the colander and place them in medium bowl. Mix the onions in with the cucumbers. Toss the cucumbers and onions with the toasted spices.
- In a small pot, bring the vinegar, sugar and remaining 1/4 cup salt to a boil. Pour the hot vinegar liquid over the cucumbers, onions and spices, and let sit until the liquid comes to room temperature.
- Once at room temperature, they are ready for the refrigerator and will be ready to eat the next day. Will keep refrigerated for weeks once they're pickled!
YOUR CLASSIC BREAD-AND-BUTTER PICKLES
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.

COLORFUL BREAD-AND-BUTTER PICKLES
Bright-hued sweet vegetable pickles are a welcome change from typical sandwich toppers. Bread-and-butters are tart, sweet, and slightly addictive-making for a great side to any burger or sandwich.

BREAD-AND-BUTTER PICKLES
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.

DEB'S BREAD AND BUTTER PICKLES
This pickle recipe was handed down to me. I have been making these for at least 20 years from cucumbers my Dad grows in his garden. I give them to friends and family and have trouble keeping up with the orders. The recipe is the star here as these are the best bread and butter pickles I've ever found. These don't need to be refrigerated until you open a jar.

Steps:
- Stir 2 quarts water and salt in a large pot until salt is dissolved. Submerge cucumbers in the water. Add ice to the water to keep cold. Let cucumbers soak for 2 hours.
- Drain salt water from pot. Rinse and drain cucumber slices twice.
- Stir sugar, 4 cups water, apple cider vinegar, turmeric, mustard seed, and celery seed together in a large pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; add cucumber slices. Simmer until the cucumbers are completely hot, but do not bring to a boil, about 10 minutes.
- Sterilize canning jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the cucumbers into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
- Let cucumbers pickle 2 weeks before eating, shaking each jar once daily.

Tips for Making Bea and Bill's Bread and Butter Pickles:
- Choose the right cucumbers: Use pickling cucumbers, which are smaller and have thinner skins than regular cucumbers. This will ensure that the pickles are crisp and flavorful.
- Slice the cucumbers evenly: This will help them cook evenly and absorb the pickling solution.
- Use a clean glass jar: This will prevent contamination and ensure that the pickles are safe to eat.
- Sterilize the jar and lid: This will kill any bacteria that may be present and prevent spoilage.
- Follow the recipe carefully: This will ensure that the pickles are properly preserved and safe to eat.
- Be patient: It takes time for the pickles to develop their full flavor. Be sure to let them sit in the refrigerator for at least two weeks before eating.
Conclusion:
Bea and Bill's Bread and Butter Pickles are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for adding a sweet and tangy flavor to sandwiches, burgers, and salads. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can enjoy these pickles all year long.
