Bread and butter pickles are a popular American condiment made from pickling cucumbers, vinegar, sugar, and spices. They are sweet, tangy, and slightly crunchy, and they are often used on sandwiches, burgers, and hot dogs. There are many different recipes for bread and butter pickles, but they all share some common ingredients and steps.
The first step is to prepare the cucumbers. They are typically peeled and sliced, and then they are soaked in a salt water solution for a period of time. This helps to remove some of the bitterness from the cucumbers and makes them more crispy.
Once the cucumbers have been soaked, they are rinsed and drained. They are then combined with the vinegar, sugar, and spices in a saucepan and brought to a boil. The mixture is then simmered for a period of time, until the cucumbers are tender and the liquid has thickened.
The pickles are then transferred to jars and sealed. They are left to cool completely before being stored in a cool, dark place. Bread and butter pickles can be stored for up to a year.
This article includes recipes for three different variations of bread and butter pickles:
* **Classic Bread and Butter Pickles:** This is the basic recipe for bread and butter pickles. It uses white vinegar, sugar, and a variety of spices, including mustard seeds, celery seeds, and turmeric.
* **Sweet Bread and Butter Pickles:** This recipe uses a higher proportion of sugar to vinegar, resulting in a sweeter pickle. It also includes some chopped onion and bell pepper.
* **Spicy Bread and Butter Pickles:** This recipe uses a hotter vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar, and a variety of chili peppers. It is the perfect pickle for those who like a little heat.

JALAPEñO PICKLES
These medium-spicy pickles, versions of which can be found throughout Mexico and Central America, make a perfect garnish for burgers, tacos or sandwiches, or they may be served with drinks. They are often made only with jalapeños, plus a little onion and carrot. Jalapeños vary in heat: Some are very spicy, some not. If you wish to make the pickles spicier, add a few serrano chiles, split lengthwise.

CHEF JOHN'S BREAD AND BUTTER PICKLES
At the end of summer during the Great Depression the excess cucumber crop was sliced, salted, pickled, and put up in jars for the cold, lean months ahead. I can just imagine what a treat it was to fill a sandwich with these sweet crunchy coins (bread and butter pickles, as they came to be known). I'm sure it was a wonderful break from what must have been a fairly flavorless existence. For longer storage, you can process the pickles in canning jars in a boiling water canner.
