Bread and Butter Pickles





People often ask what do I do with our cucumbers - some I give away and some I use at home. 

Today, I made a couple of jars of refrigerator pickles with onions and peppers.

set in the fridge covered for 2 hours- then remove and place in a colander and rinse off well with cold water


Separately, in a pan; combine the ingredients below
2 and 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 and 1/4 cup of water
1 cup sugar
1 Tblsp yellow mustard seeds
1 tsp celery seeds

bring this mixture to a simmer and added cucumber mixture that was rinsed- allow to simmer until the side of the pan starts to lightly bubble. allow to cool some and then pour into sterilized glass jars. when cool enough set in the fridge.
