REFRIGERATOR BREAD AND BUTTER PICKLES

Refrigerator Bread and Butter Pickles image

This recipe always reminds me of Sunday dinner at my grandmother's house. It was always a huge spread and there were always bread and butter pickles on the table. She made them the old fashion way. I don't have the time for that and finally tweaked a refrigerator version to taste like hers. I hope you enjoy them.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 lb pickling cucumbers, sliced
1/2 onion, sliced
1 c water
1 c apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 c sugar
1 Tbsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp whole mustard seeds
1/2 tsp tumeric
1/2 tsp celery seeds
1/2 tsp pickling spice

Steps:

1. Pack the onion and cucumber slices into 2, one quart jars. It'll probably take between 1 1/2 and 2 pounds of cucumbers. Be sure to pack them, not just loosely place them in the jars.
2. Note: I usually do one jar per the recipe and add 1/2 of a sliced jalapeno pepper to the other to satisfy the heat lovers here
3. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a non-reactive pan.
4. Bring to a boil and simmer for 3 minutes.
5. Immediately pour over the cucumbers dividing between the two jars. Be sure the cucumbers are covered, if you need to top it off with a little water it's OK.
6. Store in the refrigerator. It's best if you wait a week, if you can, before eating. Will keep up to 2 months.
7. Note: while waiting for them to cure I usually shake them occasionally

Yield 2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 pounds pickling cucumbers, Sliced or quartered
1/2 yellow onion, sliced
2 red jalapeno peppers, thinly sliced into rings
3 tablespoons Kosher salt
2 cups distilled white vinegar
1/2 cups white sugar
1/4 cup water
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 tablespoon mustard seed
1 teaspoon celery seeds
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Steps:

Combine cucumbers, onion, and peppers in a bowl; pour kosher salt over the top and stir to coat completely. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, 2 to 4 hours. Rinse cucumber mixture in a colander under cold water until all salt is washed away, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain. Stir vinegar, sugar, water, garlic, mustard seed, celery seed, peppercorns, turmeric, and ground cloves together in a saucepan; bring to a simmer and cook until brine flavors combine, about 2 minutes. Add cucumber mixture to brine; heat until almost boiling, remove from heat, and cool completely. Transfer to jars and store in the refrigerator.

Tips:

Choose the right cucumbers: For best results, use pickling cucumbers, which are smaller and have thinner skin than regular cucumbers.
Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices will give your pickles the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
Make sure the brine is completely cool before pouring it over the cucumbers: If the brine is too hot, it will cook the cucumbers and make them soft.
Store the pickles in a cool, dark place: This will help them to keep their flavor and crispness.
Wait at least 2 weeks before eating the pickles: This will give them time to develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Refrigerator bread and butter pickles are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or condiment. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can enjoy these pickles all year long. So next time you're looking for a tasty treat, give these pickles a try!
