Upon a Mother’s Request…

Standard

My mom saw that I made dill pickles and made a request for bread and butter pickles. Well, I am all for a cooking challenge and thought why not, my grandma use to make those too. After asking my mom for the recipes, which she then replied I don’t think she ever wrote it down. UGH!

So the internet I turned to and found a few recipes. I followed this one except I canned them.

I must say the first 24 hours were a little stinky because of the raw onions but in the end I was amazed by pickling liquid. At first I was very doubtful about the mixture of spices but once I smelled it cooking and then tasted one of the spare pickles I knew it was the right recipe.

These beauties will be given as gifts and saved for thanksgiving dinner.
