Ingredients for Bread and Butter Pickles

*I’m not a huge fan of Cider vinegar but the tart taste needs to be there for this recipe.

My family also prefers these fairly sweet.

Adjust to your taste preferences (below are examples of adjustments for taste).

• 3-4 Pickling Cukes
• 1 cup distilled vinegar
• ¼ cup ACV*
• ¾ Cup Water
• 2 Cups White Sugar**
• ½ small, thinly sliced yellow onion
• 1 finely minced garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Morton Kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
• ½ tablespoon celery seed
• ½ tablespoon turmeric
• 6-8 whole cloves

*If you like Cider vinegar, use 1/2 cup ACV and 1/2 Cup water instead. Keep in mind though, this flavor is strong.

**If you prefer your pickles less sweet, use 1 & 1/4 cup White sugar instead.

Slice Onion and Pickle Chips and Mince Fresh Garlic

Thinly slice half a small yellow onion.

Slice 3-4 pickling cukes into 1/4″ chips.

Mince a clove of fresh garlic.

Add these to your sterilized mason jars in layers.

Make Bread and Butter Brining Liquid

To a medium pot add:

• 1 tablespoon mustard seeds

• ½ tablespoon turmeric
• 6-8 whole cloves
