Pickles

Who’d have thought I could make a delicious, Vlasik rival bread and butter pickle?

No one.

I didn’t think so either. Until today. I got the recipes from my buddy Max, who sent me B&B, and dill pickle recipes.

I had 2 cucumbers that needed to be used, so I made the B&B first. (We ate the second cuke raw.)

I want a pickle that is sweet, and slightly tart, and the B&B fits that requirement. As I was pouring the brine into the sterilized pint jar, my last physical jar until next week, I tasted the brine. Outstanding. Delicious.

I can’t wait to try these. If I like the results, Max is going to send me the different ingredient measurements for larger batches of the pickles. He even sent me the water bath canning instructions to preserve them.

Take a look at the first jars’ contents.

Here is the recipe for 1 whole cucumber in a pint sized jar. You can thank my pal Max. I’ll post both recipes, B&B, and Dill. Take your pick.

Here are my first 2 jars after water bath canning for 20 minutes, and ready to go on the shelf in the pantry. Each has approximately 1 good sized cucumber in it, with onion, and brine. I hope you give these pickles a try. They’re fast, easy, and great tasting.

Until next time, stay happy, and healthy in the Lord.
