Microwave Bread-and-Butter Pickles
This microwave bread-and-butter pickles recipe is like a bread and butter pickle, and really super easy. You can even play with the proportions a bit; I like to increase the vinegar, salt, and spices, or you could make it sweeter. Be prepared to make this one over and over if you have any pickle lovers in the house.
