Bread 'N Butter Pickles

These sweet and sour pickles are great 

 to accompany any meal. 

I am sharing my Aunt Muriel's recipe.

I ate often at her house and remember 

these delicious pickles with the meals. 

 

 

 

Ingredients 

 

2 1/2 lbs pickling cucumbers

2 onions chopped

1/4 cup pickling salt

2 cups white vinegar

2 cups sugar

1 tsp turmeric

1 tbsp mustard seed 

2 tbsp celery seed

 

Instructions

Wash cucumbers and slice 

1/4 inch, discarding ends.

In a large glass or stainless steel  

container, layer cucumbers and onions, 

lightly sprinkling each layer with salt.

Empty 2 ice-cube trays of ice on top

Let stand for 3 hrs.

Combine vinegar, sugar, turmeric,

 mustard seed and celery seed, in

 a large stainless steel saucepan.

Cover and bring to a boil; 

reduce heat and boil gently 15 minutes.

Drain vegetables, rinse in cold water,

 drain again, add to pickling liquid, 

mix well.

Return mixture to boil. 

Place in sterilized jars.

In a week or two, they come

into better flavour. 

Enjoy!!
