BREAD AND BUTTER PICKLES
(recipe by Faye A. Davis)

30-36 Pickling Cucumbers
8-10 Small Onions
1/2+ Cup Salt (I use between 1/2-3/4)

4 Trays of ice cubes or more as needed


Slice cucumbers thin & slice onions
Mix with salt in big kettle
Mix ice cubes with cucumbers and onions
Weigh down with rock for a minimum of 3 hours or overnight - adding ice if needed
Drain good - Then make:

IN LARGE KETTLE............heat and dissolve

5 Cups white vinegar
5 Cups sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons of Tumeric
1/2 teaspoon of Cloves
2 tablespoons of Mustard Seed
1 teaspoon of Celery Seed

ADD CUCUMBERS AND ONIONS
HEAT THROUGH - BUT DO NOT BOIL (boiling ruins the batch)
(cukes will turn a darker green when done)

BOIL JARS & LIDS (put jars & lids in boiling water for a few minutes-
one or two at a time as you are canning.)
