Sweet Pickles

Another bowl of beautiful cucumbers from the garden will become grandmas classic bread & butter’s.

Time:  1 hour     Difficulty:  Easy

Recipe

• 6-8 cucumbers, medium size
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 1 red pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 c. Sugar
• 2 c. Cider vinegar
• 1 Tbls. Salt
• 2 Tbls. Celery seed

In a medium saucepan bring sugar and vinegar to a boil.  Set a side and let cool to room temperature.

Slice cucumbers to desired thickness.  I like to use a small cheese cutter to give the pickles a crinkle look.

In large plastic bowl with a sealing lid, place sliced cucumbers, peppers and onions inside.  Sprinkle salt and celery seed over the top of the vegetables.  Pour cooled sugar and vinegar brine over the top, stirr to combine.  Dont worry if your brine doesn’t cover all of the cucumbers, as the mixture sits it will leach water from the vegetables giving you plenty of coverage.

Store mixture in the refrigerator for a minimum of a minimum of three days to develop flavor and for a maximum of 6 months.  You can then transfer to other jars or containers for sharing.
