Bread and Butter Pickles



Okay these are so easy it's amazing that people don't pickle their own food all the time. I used what I had on hand, red wine vinegar but cider vinegar is also a good choice. The recipe can make pickle slices or spears. I did both.


Ingredients:
  • 7 kirby cucumbers
  • 3/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon tumeric
  • 2 teaspoons mustard seed
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed

Directions:
  • Boil vinegar and sugar until sugar melts
  • Add spices
  • Add slices or spears to boiling mixture
  • Boil 1-2 minutes
  • Place pickles in glass jar
  • Pour liquid over top making sure to fill jar
  • Close jar and let sit over night in refrigerator



Enjoy!
