If your cucumbers are taking over and you have about 8 small ones, make pickles. Here is a super-easy recipe for refrigerator bread & butter pickles. If you love sweet pickles, but not the dark green, metallic-tasting ones from the store, then these are for you.
Recipe:
Scrub 8 “smallish” cucumbers, trim both the flower and stem ends and slice into 1/4″ slices. Put cucumber slices (small amount of sliced onion can be added if you like) into a non-metal bowl. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp kosher salt onto cucumbers, stir well, cover with a paper towel and let sit on the counter for one hour. After one hour, drain and rinse cucumbers, pack into one quart or two pint jars. Add about 1/2 to 1 tsp. pickling spice to each pint jar. Stir together until completely dissolved 1-1/2 C white vinegar, 1/4 C water and 2 C sugar. Pour over cucumbers, making sure the brine is completely covering the cucumbers. Put lids on and refrigerate for 2 days before eating. Keep refrigerated and eat within 2 weeks.

My pickles came out soggy in the middle. Is that normal?
yummy
what it Kosher salt!!
Exactly what I was looking for. I’m new to gardening and just harvested my
first few cucumbers. I’m going to try this right now.. thank you so much
for sharingVery Nice!!
That’s way too much sugar. I’m a diabetic and can’t see consuming that
much. I wonder if substituting Truvia would work? Or, just ease up on the
amount of sugar, I guess…Nice. I just cut up a cucumber and put it in the leftover Claussen pickle
juice to get another batch of them. I’m wondering how long it will take
for them to get a real good pickle taste. So far 2 days and they taste a
bit pickly but still more cucumber. I’ve heard it could take a week or so
to really get the taste. Oh well, it was only $0.53 for the cucumber :DI have tried it!Ate first pickles today they were awesome
Going to try this 🙂 thank you
You have this verrrrrrrry calm and soothing voice! I was just getting so
relaxed, listening to you talk about pickles! Ha ha!you have a very nice voice.
Ok so…. I have never really had pickles before so I just wanna ask that
when you get jarred pickles from the grocery store do you have to wash them
before eating or just drain the vinegar?looks yummy!…Subbed…Dave in WV
