Sweet and yellow bread and butter pickles are a relish-tray staple that contrasts with the big, sour flavors of dill pickles or giardiniera<\/a>. The turmeric in the brine gives them their signature hue, while a combination of dry spices, including ground clove and whole mustard seeds, provides a distinctive sweet aroma.<\/p>\n This recipe is a good introduction to boiling water canning for beginners<\/a>. If you\u2019d prefer not to use a boiling water canner, you can pack the pickles into clean jars and store them in the fridge for quick usage and gifting. Make sure to instruct recipients to keep the unprocessed pickles refrigerated!<\/p>\n In a large container, combine the cucumbers, onions and salt. Cover them with crushed ice and mix well. Let stand for three hours. Drain the water, rinse the cucumbers and drain again.<\/p>\n In a Dutch oven, combine the sugar, vinegar, mustard seed, celery seed, turmeric and cloves. Bring the mixture to a boil. Add the cucumber and onion mixture and return the mixture to a boil. Remove the pot from the heat.<\/p>\n Carefully ladle the hot mixture into seven hot pint jars, leaving 1\/2 inch of headspace. Remove any air bubbles and adjust the headspace if necessary by adding more hot brine. Wipe the rims. Center the lids on the jars and screw on the bands until they’re fingertip tight.<\/p>\n Place the jars in a canner with simmering water, ensuring the jars are completely covered with water. Bring the water to a boil and process the jars for 15 minutes. Remove the jars and let them cool.<\/p>\n The processing time listed is for altitudes of 1,000 feet or less. For altitudes up to 3,000 feet, add five minutes; for 6,000 feet, add 10 minutes; for 8,000 feet, add 15 minutes; for 10,000 feet, add 20 minutes.<\/p>\n Once the jars of pickles have cooled completely, verify that the lids have formed a seal. Remove the canning rings, label and date the jars, and store them away from sunlight in a closed cabinet. It\u2019s recommended<\/a> to store the jars without canning rings so you can easily tell if a seal has failed in the future.<\/p>\n Canned pickles are quite stable. For the best texture, enjoy them within a year, but as long as the seals on the jars are in good condition, canned pickles are good for up to two years. Once opened, the jar should be kept in the refrigerator and consumed within a few weeks.<\/p>\n Cucumbers are generally separated into two main categories: slicing (or salad) cucumbers and pickling cucumbers. Slicing cucumbers are larger, with delicate flesh and thinner skin, making them good for fresh eating. Pickling cucumbers are smaller, with denser flesh and thicker skin. For canned pickles, pickling cucumbers are preferred for a flavorful and crisp result.<\/p>\n Yes, you can add other firm vegetables like carrots or cauliflower (measuring by weight) to create a variety of textures and flavors. Once you see how easy it is to pickle cucumbers, try other pickling recipes<\/a>. The possibilities are endless!<\/p>\n These pickles are best known as a sandwich pickle. Their milder flavor complements layered ingredients without overwhelming them. Their sweet-tangy flavor also makes them a great substitute for sweet pickles in salad recipes. Use bread and butter pickle slices and pickle juice instead of dill for a sweeter fried pickle<\/a>. They pair well with rich, savory flavors, such as pimiento cheese<\/a>.<\/p>\n My mom always made this crisp bread and butter pickle recipe when we were kids, and she gave me the recipe. They’re pleasantly tart and so good. Now I make bread and butter pickles for my own kids all of the time! \u2014Karen Owen, Rising Sun,

What kind of cucumbers should you use to make bread and butter pickles?<\/h3>There are many varieties of cucumbers, but all of them are generally separated into two main categories\u2014slicing (or salad) cucumbers and pickling cucumbers. Slicing cucumbers are larger and have a more delicate flesh and a thinner, smoother skin, making them good for eating fresh. Pickling cucumbers are smaller, with a denser flesh and thicker skin. If you\u2019re making refrigerator pickles<\/a> with a quick curing time, a thinner skin is fine, but the denser pickling cucumber is the way to go to get a flavorful and crisp pickle when jarring the pickles. Since these bread and butter pickles are canned, pickling cucumbers<\/a> are the way to go. \r\n
How can you serve bread and butter pickles?<\/h3>Bread and butter pickles are best known as a sandwich pickle. Because of their milder flavor, they complement the layered ingredients, where a stronger, more sour dill pickle might be overwhelming, and are usually served on the side. Because of their sweet-tangy flavor, they can stand in for sweet pickles in certain salad recipes too. If you like a sweeter fried pickle<\/a>, you can use bread and butter pickle slices and pickle juice instead of dill too! \r\n
How should you store bread and butter pickles?<\/h3>If the jars have sealed correctly, these pickles can be stored at room temperature (out of the sunlight) for up to a year. Once opened, the jar should be kept in the refrigerator and consumed within a few weeks. Once you see how easy it is to pickle cucumbers, try other pickling recipes<\/a>. The possibilities are endless!
