These are the easiest bread and butter pickles you will ever make, and are out of this world!
I got this out of Cook's Illustrated...I make these every week in the summertime.
Bread and Butter Pickles
 1 lb pickling cukes, (about three)
1 medium onion thinly sliced
1 Tbsp kosher salt
1 cup cider vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp yellow mustard seed
1/2 tsp celery seed
1/4 tsp turmeric
Set mandoline to 1/8" (if you have one) and slice cukes.
Place cukes in a colander set in a bowl and toss with onions and kosher salt. Let it sit and drain for 1 hour.
Bring remaining ingredients to a boil in saucepan, add cucumber mixture and press down until covered in liquid.
Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook 5 minutes...until cukes are olive-brown in color.
Let cukes cool, uncovered in refrigerator at least 2 hours before serving.
------------- Go ahead...play with your food! |

Nice cukes! I always thought you had to keep them pressed while they cooled, under some kind of weighted object...guess not. I've always wanted to make these except I'm gonna add strips of cayenne or thai dragon's for a sweet bite! ------------- |
