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.

Tips:
- Choose the right cucumbers: Use pickling cucumbers that are small, firm, and have thin skin. These cucumbers will hold their shape and texture well during the pickling process.
- 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.
- Pack the jars tightly: Pack the cucumber slices and onion slices tightly into the jars. This will help to prevent them from floating to the top of the jar and becoming exposed to air, which can cause them to spoil.
- Cover the jars completely: Make sure the jars are completely covered with the vinegar solution. This will help to keep the pickles submerged and prevent them from spoiling.
- Store the pickles in a cool place: Store the pickles in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks before eating. This will allow the flavors to develop fully.
