These bread and butter pickles win an award called "best thing I've eat all day and in probably a month too" every time I eat one award. They're delicious and it's a prestigious award that rewards.
Ingredients
-
2.5 lbs pickling cucumbers
-
1.5 cups pickling lime
-
12 cups water
-
1.5 lbs white sugar
-
3 cups white vinegar
-
2 tablespoons pickling spice
-
Pinch of salt
Directions
First things first, be careful with lime, read the package and handle according to their instructions
Watch the ‘how to’ video at the end of this page!
Cut the cucumbers into rounds about 1/8th an inch
Mix the water and lime in a non-reactive container, do not use aluminum. Stainless steel, ceramic or glass are good.
Soak the cucumber in the lime water for 8-12 hours; you can go up to 24
Rinse the rounds at least 4 times to remove the lime – I do this right into the sink
Bring vinegar, sugar, spices and a pinch of salt to a boil in a pot big enough to hold the liquid and pickles
Once boiling, add your pickles and cut the heat. Let that sit 8-12 hours; you can go up to 24
Now, boil for another 20 minutes then jar. If you made it this far and made something with lime, I assume you know how to jar, otherwise google search it… it’s easy. Pickles are best after they’ve sat for at least a week, but I start eating right way and they’re v good. I’m eating the now, as I write.
