Pickles Anyone?
Blog Prompt – It’s International Pickle Week and I would love to hear about the pickles you love best.
There aren’t too many pickles I won’t eat. I love dill, sweet, bread and butter pickles. It really depends on what I am eating to what pickle I will choose.
I love dills on my hamburgers, bread and butter pickles on different kinds of sandwiches. My mother makes a great bread and butter pickle and here is a great recipe for them. She also use to make a lot of dill pickles too. Those would surely make you pucker.
Really easy recipe for all those cucumbers you have from your garden.
Bread and Butter Pickles
6 large cucumbers, sliced
4 onions, sliced
1/4 cup salt
1 pint white vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon mustard seed
Use fresh cucumbers; wash and slice. Slice onions. Mix vegetables with salt and let stand 1 hour.
Drain and rinse with 2 cups cold water. Combine vinegar, sugar, celery and mustard seeds and heat to boiling. Cook 3 minutes.
Pack vegetables into jars, add hot vinegar mixture, leaving 1/4″ head space. Seal at once and process in boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
Cool and store.
Have a wonderful pickle day,
I use to make a pickled cauliflower and cucumbers with a similar vinegar mixture, but lost it. Bet this would work as well, don’t you think?
I’ve never canned before but you have me considering it. My mouth was watering as I read this.
