Two Frugal Chicks

I got this recipe from my neighbor. We loved them. Sweet and salty bread and butter pickles, yummmmy
6 C sliced cucumbers
1 lb onions sliced thin
1/4 C Salt
2 C Sugar
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp cloves
1T mustard seed
2 C vinegar
Mix cucumbers and onions with salt and let sweat 3 hours. Rinse and drain. Pack the vegs in to jars. Mix sugar, turmeric, cloves, mustard seeds and vinegar in saucepan. Bring to boil. Pour into jars over vegetables. Seal.
You can sterilize the jars in the dishwasher. If you want your pickles sweet only, then skip the salt. You can leave out the turmeric if you don’t have any, it just turns the pickles yellow, but it’s not crucial. If you are going to eat them up soon, no need to hot bath. The vinegar keeps it good for a long long time in the fridge..
