What do you do with all those fresh cucumbers busting out of your garden? Make good old fashioned bread and butter pickles. Quick and easy recipe!
Using a mandoline slicer, slice your cucumbers and onions into a bowl. I like my pickles thin, but slice them the way you like them.
While you are slicing, in a pan on the stove, mix vinegar, water and sugar. Heat until the mixture reaches a slow boil and sugar is dissolved. Add salt and dill to the slices in the bowl, to taste. I use fresh dill when I can but, dried dill works too. Pour liquid mixture over the sliced cucumber, onions, salt and dill. Chill in the fridge in a covered bowl. They will keep in the fridge for a good amount of time.
With all of the fresh veggies available during the summer, this is an inexpensive and yummy addition to any meal. If you do not have your own fresh cucumbers in your own garden, go out and buy local!

I don’t think you can freeze them but you could can them.

Yum!!! just wondering can you freeze them? We have lots of cukes in our garden!

We usually eat them right away, They are even good warm! you can add to it I have done that, but it is the warm water that really gets the pickles going. I have also tried banana peppers in the same way and they are really good too!

Oh gosh, those look good. I might be making this up, but I’ve read that instead of throwing the pickling brine away you can just slice a new cucumber and add it to the jar. Have you ever tried that?
Also, about how long does it take for the little slices to pickle up? Would they be ready to go to a barbecue in a few days?
