Wow, I never thought that I'll ever use my microwave for cooking such delicious dish! It was easy, fast and most important - tasty! My in-laws, my children and husband absolutely loved it. I made some changes, such as: reduced the quantity of sugar to 1/3 cup and in my microwave (whirlpool) it took 6 1/2 minutes to be done. I'll stick to this as a basic recipe for B&B pickles.

These were the BEST! They were just like eating my grandmothers. I did reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup to allow me to eat more at one sitting. Terrific for holiday gifting.

Absolutely Yummy! These pickles are super simple to make, and taste even better than anything sold in a store. It's perfect for a single person, or a small family. I had pickles in the fridge form start to finish in less than 20 minutes. Thanks Linda!

My daughter made these from the cucumbers in our garden. They are really delicious and easy to make. Though they're not crispy or crunchy, they are a great way to use up that produce. Oh, by the way, we substituted Splenda for the sugar to save on calories.

I love these pickles, especially the ease of making them! I make one cucumber at a time. I leave the onions out. The only bad thing is they are not crisp, but then again who cares!

I don't like pickles, so I made this one for my husband. He bit into a pickle and his whole face screwed up. He said ,"Sorry, babe, it's not good." So, there you have it. Sorry.

These turned out great! Following others' advice, I only used 1/2 cup of sugar (which was plenty), and I added 1 clove of fresh garlic (minced) and 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes. Microwaved for 8 minutes, and they taste fantastic! Thanks for the recipe!!

I love pickles, but never made them before. This recipe was easy and allows for variation ... I used cloves and added whole peppercorns. I also halved the sugar which still had them plenty sweet!! I used the English cucumbers and either these cukes are not for pickling, or else I microwaved them too long. They were not as crispy as I would like, but I will definitely used this recipie again with "normal" cucumbers.

I have made many versions of bread and butter sweet pickles, but never found one that was easier and more delicious. I used to teach microwave cooking in the 80's and wish I had had this recipe to show off another way to use your microwave oven! Yummy!

These pickles are absolutely delicious and easy. I only used 2/3 cup sugar for a little less sweetness. In a couple batches I added a variety of peppers from my garden. Great recipe! One more thing, it says 1 cucumber and I used about 5 pickle size cucs.

Excellent recipe - easy to make and quite tasty. The only thing I didn't like was that after a couple of days marinating the sweetness really intensifies, overwhelming all the other flavors. Next time I'll try with less sugar.

Revised review: Too sweet, this really needs either more vinegar, and/or less sugar. Original review: "Pretty good! A "fast-fix" when my Mother's, locally famous standard recipe, Bread & Butter Pickles are not available. In this recipe I most often omit the celery seed and add 1/2 teaspoon whole cloves instead."

These were just okay- we didn't even end up finishing them. I think I may have tried following too many of the suggestions. Next time, I'll stick to the original recipe except I don't really like the taste of the celery seed and do I really need the turmeric? I don't like the color of the pickles with the turmeric added.

We have never made pickles before and this was the easiest and most delious bread and butter pickles that we could ever imagine. They taste like mom used to make! I was giving the receipe to a friend and they don't have any jars, do you suppose you could just use a tight fitting rubbermaid bowl or something like that. We will be making these again and there is no need to buy Bread and Butter Pickles in the store again.
