Bread and Butter Pickles II Recipe Reviews - Allrecipes.com (Pg. 1)
Reviewed: May 15, 2013
I have found my recipe for Bread and Butter Pickles. We made 25 jars of these last year and are down to 3. We even had to buy cucumbers because our crop failed last year. My whole family and everyone that has tasted this recipe thinks it is great. My wife suggested leaving out the cloves for some of the jars. We all thought the jars with tasted better. We also used this same recipe to make bread and butter sweet peppers and they were great also.

These pickles have turned out to be a blessing and a curse. The blessing is that they are the best bread and butter pickle I have ever tasted, by far. The curse being that we made several batches and gave them as Christmas gifts. Everyone loves them! Now everyone wants more. Just joking about the curse but tickled that they were so well received. Used the recipe and made several batches with just pickles alone. Did'nt have a bowl big enough so used the cooler idea, cut down on the salt and let the batches soak overnight. After several batches I found that placing 4-5 trays of ice cubes on top of the soaking pickles and covering the trays with a old bath towel kept the ice solid and did'nt dilute the recipe. Make sure they are well rinsed, take the time it makes a difference. Also make sure you use a quality cooler. We will no longer add the tumeric as it leaves a odd settlement in the bottom of the jars and adds a funky color. Just a little advise after the water bath. When the jars have cooled to the point where they can be handled safely, unscrew the band and give everything a good rinse as the sugary mixture tends to glue the bands on once everything dries. Thanks for sharing David!

I made this recipe, and added sliced hot peppers to some of the jars. I had to hide what wasn't devoured by my kids and there friends in the first month. I have had several compliments on these, and now need to plan on lots of cucumbers for next years garden. CAN'T WAIT!!

This was the first bread and butter pickling recipe I ever used. It will be the last. It's fantastic. I can't keep the pickles on the shelf. Everyone loves them. Thanks Dave. Making another bunch today.

I had an abundance of cucumbers from the garden this year, and I tried several different recipes for pickles. This is the best! It is pretty easy, and the pickles are yummy. I used large cucumbers, which are generally not recommended, and they were still great. The only change I made was I left out the green peppers. They seemed unnecessary, and my plants didn't do well this year, so I would have had to buy them.

These pickles are AMAZING however on initial taste these pickles are too salty, but if you give them a hot water bath so that they are canned and can sit at least three weeks, (I KNOW it is hard to wait) they are WONDERFUL this is my first time to can pickles and my husband loves them.

My neighbor gives me bags and bags of cucumber recipes every year, even though I grow my own. So, needless to say, I have tons of cucumbers to deal with. This year I tried a dozen different recipes and then sent some of them to work with my husband. I have requests for more of these pickles from both his co-workers and our family. I don't care much for pickles, but these I like. They stored great, but they didn't last long!

This was my first attempt at pickling/canning anything and they turned out great. I did cut the salt in half and found they were very sweet to begin with but got better with age as mentioned in other reviews. Thanks for the great experience.
