Fridge Bread & Butter Pickles

Fridge Bread & Butter Pickles

I love bread and butter pickles and when I was growing up, my Mom and Grandmother made them a lot during the summer months. I just found this recipe and I will be trying it soon! This is NOT a canning recipe and is NOT recommended to can this, this is a make and place in the fridge recipe. I made these on 22 May 2018, delicious!
Prep Time 3 hours

Course Side
Cuisine American
Servings 1 quart

Ingredients
  

  • 750 grams small cucumbers, sliced 1/4 inch thick, (1 1/2 lbs)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 2 small onions, thinly sliced, white onion preferred
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons mustard seed
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric

Instructions
 

  • In a large shallow bowl, add the cucumber slices and onion slices.
  • Add the salt, toss together. Cover and place in the fridge for 1-1 1/2 hours.
  • When the cucumbers are ready, add to a colander and rinse well. Drain the cucumbers well, there you just removed excess moisture from the cucumber slices to provide a good crisp cucumber slice.
  • Add the drained cucumbers to a heat proof bowl this time, or to a quart jar.
  • In a medium sauce pan, add the vinegars, sugars, mustard and celery seeds, and finally the turmeric. Stir together then and bring mixture to a simmer on medium heat. Stir until the sugars are dissolved.
  • Pour the hot mixture over the cucumber and onion mixture, let set at room temp until cooled, cover and place in the fridge for 24 hours.
  • The bread and butter pickles are ready now to be enjoyed. Can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 month as long as they are covered airtight.
