This recipe is the best bread and butter pickles recipe i have made. As a food tech student i made this recipe for my testing and trailing for a project on preserves and these bread and butter pickles were by far the best preserve, so i choose to make it for my final preserve. I recommend that if you are deciding to make this recipe or not that you make it because you will be amazed!!! I recommend that you use course salt instead of fine salt though.

These were great! I used red pepper instead of green, because I like them better, but other than that, I didn't change a thing.

I have never canned anything in my life...and truth be known, I'm not very good in the kitchen, period, haha...but I wanted to surprise my wife. I found this recipe for pickles and it sounded like something I might be able to tackle. I gotta tell ya....it was EASY and the pickles are the best I've ever tasted!! Since my first attempt I've made 4 more batches, gave some away as gifts and everyone who tries 'em loves 'em! I just wanted to write this review to tell folks out there that if I can make these then...seriously, ANYONE can! Give 'em a try! It don't get any better than these!!

I have made these pickles twice and they are absolutely delicious. I follow the recipe as written. It is a good idea to rinse the salt off the cucumbers before adding to the brine. I get 4 pint sized jars using around 9 cucumbers. I cut the recipe in half for 9 cukes. I also use pickling spice (just a few sprinkles to the brine).

These are really good but I wish I rinsed the cucumbers of the salt like others suggested. It had a too salty after taste. Very good, but I will either cuz the amount of salt or I will make sure to rinse it next time!

So good they are just ridiculous. I did add extra red pepper and some jars I added a homegrown pepper. I also followed the advise of others on the sugar and cut back. Can not wait to make more.

This recipe is awesome! Such a true old fashioned taste! My friends went wild. So did I!! :) I made a second batch with Zucchini and plain white vinegar, only cause that's all I had.. They turned out every bit as awesome as the first batch with cukes.

Wonderful! Used the "sauce" for mixture of hot peppers I had and a few onions. Best I've had! Thanks for the recipe.
