Refrigerator Bread & Butter Pickles
These Bread & Butter Pickles are so good that I can eat them right out of the jar. The worse part about these pickles is that you need to wait at least a week before eating them! My husband loves making these and sharing them with his mom because she gave him the recipe that she use to make years ago. They will last up to 2 months in the refrigerator.
Kroger had cucumbers on sale for 50 cents a piece and he was craving these pickles so here they are!
Wash and slice the cucumbers.
Slice up the onions.
Mix cucumbers and onions, add salt and mix well. Make the brine and heat to boiling. Boil for 5 minutes. Pour cucumbers into brine and mix well. Fill the jars with the cucumber mixture. Fill jars with the hot brine.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months, turning the jars once a day for the first 3-5 days redistributing the spices.
