We as a family love pickles. They are a great summer side to any sandwich. I’ve searched for an Easy Bread and Butter Pickle Recipe for Canning and so far I think I have found my favorite. Bread and Butter pickles are my girl’s favorite. (I’m a lover of Dill Pickles myself.. but no one else is here..)

I like to do a little canning each year when the garden is producing more than we eat.

I love the look of canned vegetables sitting on the counter. 

It’s also is a great way for us to save a little money at the grocery store.

I have been using this simple recipe and I love it.

IT REALLY IS SIMPLE, I PROMISE.

To prepare you will need:

• Water bath canner (Canning Kit, 9-Piece this has all you will need)
• Canning Jars (Wide Mouth Ball Jars these have lids and rings)
• Canning Lids & Rings
• Jar Lifter
• Canning Funnel
• Large Pots
• Bowls
• Large Spoons
• Sharp Knives
• Towels
• Ladle

That was the hard part for me getting everything I needed together.


Directions

1. Wash cucumbers. Slice both cucumbers and onions. I like mine thicker sliced than most people.
2. Combine cucumber, onion, and salt to a large bowl. Mix with hand a small bit. Cover with Ice cubes and let sit for 1 – 2 hours. (While I’m waiting I get my jars ready by running them in dishwasher)
3. Place vinegar, sugar, mustard seed, pickling spice, turmeric, and celery seed in a large pot and bring to a boil.
4. Drain and rinse cucumber and onion. Add to vinegar mixture and return to a boil.
5. Pack into hot jars leaving 1/4 inch head space. (this is why I run in dishwasher so they are hot and I don’t have to boil them)
6. Remove air bubbles with a small tool. Wipe rims clean and place on lids.
7. Process pints for about 15min in water bath.

My pickles sealed really soon after I took them out of the canner.

I have never had an issue with any of my jars not sealing, but if it happens just put them in the fridge.
