Bread and Butter Pickles Refrigerator No Canning

Hi Dear Folk,

Here is the recipe I referred to on my Instagram.

Refrigerator Bread and Butter Pickles

Ingredients:

• 5½ cups (about 1½ pounds) thinly sliced (about ¼-inch) pickling cucumbers
• 1½ tablespoons kosher salt
• 1 cup thinly sliced sweet onion
• 1 cup (198 grams) granulated sugar
• 1 cup (240 ml) white vinegar or red wine vinegar (use what you have)
• ½ cup (120 ml) apple cider vinegar can add a little balsamic if like
• ¼ cup (50 grams) light brown sugar
• 1½ teaspoons mustard seeds
• ½ teaspoon celery seeds or coriander seeds or pickling spices (use what you have)
• 1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric or cumin or tandoori spice or any combination (use what you have)

Method:

• Combine cucumbers and salt in large shallow dish, cover and chill 1 1/2 hours.  Rinse under cold water in a colander.  Drain well and return to dish, toss with onions.
• Combine all the other ingredients in a saucepan, bring to simmering heat until sugar is dissolved.
• Pour the mixture over the cucumbers and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.  Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.  Store in airtight container up to one month in the refrigerator.

Hope you like these, I love them.  Don't be afraid to experiment with the spices.  A nice easy recipe to use up a few left over cucumbers.
