Chef John's Bread and Butter Pickles

Servings:

My bread and butter pickles are made with sliced pickling cucumbers in a sweet and tangy brine. They're soft and tender, but at the same time they have the most amazing crunch! This recipe is for refrigerator pickles — for longer storage, you can process the pickles in canning jars in a boiling water canner.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Combine cucumbers, onion, and peppers in a bowl; pour kosher salt over the top and stir to coat completely. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, 2 to 4 hours. Rinse cucumber mixture in a colander under cold water until all salt is washed away, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain.
  2. 2 Stir vinegar, sugar, water, garlic, mustard seed, celery seed, peppercorns, turmeric, and ground cloves together in a saucepan; bring to a simmer and cook until brine flavors combine, about 2 minutes. Add cucumber mixture to brine; heat until almost boiling, remove from heat, and cool completely. Transfer to jars and store in the refrigerator.
