Dear Crushers,

I have been asked by a neighbor to make them some bread & butter pickles. Shocked

I am not a stranger to canning or making jellies & preserves, but I have never done pickles. I have my granma's recipe, but I was wondering if any of you have done this before, and if you have a recipe you really like?

Help,

Signed,
In A Pickle Laughing

Well, I started making them today. I don't have a bowl big enough so I had to use a litter box. It's never been used, and I think it's a plastic dishpan but it looks like a litter box. They are in the frig overnight, then I'll put them up tomorrow.

I made the pickles. Thank goodness for a measurement guide. Rolling Eyes

You know you're in trouble when the recipe calls for gallons & quarts of ingredients. Laughing

Here's the pickles soaking in ice before cooking.

Some of the cukes were too big for pickles, so I made a relish too.

We have 5 quarts & 3 1/2 pints of pickles, and 16 1/2 pints of relish!

I still have a lot of jars left, so I bet my neighbor brings more cucumbers. Laughing

But maybe not, if these aren't any good. Confused

I keep thinking of an Andy Griffith episode where Aunt Bee made horrible pickles. OMG, I hope I'm not Aunt Bee! Shocked

Those pickles look great. Hope they're delicious. I have a great bread and butter recipe somewhere in storage. It called for liming the cuke slices, and boy did they turn out crispy and delicious.

They turned out pretty good! Next time I'll put a tad more sugar in. When they are cooled in the frig, they are pretty tasty on a hot summers day.
