Bread and Butter Pickle Recipe
1/2 cup Sugar
1 tsp. Salt
1 cup sliced thin Onions
1/2 tsp. Celery Seeds
1/2 tsp. Pickling Spices
1/2 cup White Vinegar
3 cup sliced Cucumbers
Bring to boil, sugar, salt, celery seed, pickling spices and vinegar. Stir until boil and sugar is dissolved. Add in the cucumbers and sliced onions, bring the liquid up to boil again. Stirring several times!
I sterilize my jars in the dishwasher. Then I fill each jar to the rim with water and place them in the microwave for 3 minutes. Place jar lids and seals in a wide sauce pan. Pour all hot water from jars on top of lids. ('Careful jars are hot!) Place cucumbers and onions into jars and pour vinegar liquid on top until it reaches the rim of jar. Carefully remove seal and lids from hot water and place on jars and close tightly. Place sealed jars back into the hot water and cover sauce pan. Let them stay in there until cooled. Bring them out of water and dry them off. Turn each jar upside down, (I don't know why but that is what my Granny taught me.) place in refrigerator or pantry.
I do not use a pressure cooker, they scare me. All those gadgets to buy for canning I have never used. Good Luck!! Happy Canning!
