Canning some Bread & Butter Pickles

Bread & Butter Pickles



From "Daisy's Delights"






"Daisy's Delights" is a cookbook full of recipes from Pat's Grammar, Daisy Carriker. She was a beautiful woman and could cook just about anything. I learned a lot from her about cooking and I learned a lot from just watching Grammar. She was a true "Pioneer Woman" - she could grow anything and cook anything that was out of her garden - she could make a complete meal out of the bare minimum. What a "delight" she was to all of us. Hope you enjoy this recipe - especially if you're still getting some cucumbers out of your garden - or, maybe you'll have a Fall garden! You will notice, too, that the instructions are short and sweet!






12 medium cucumbers



4 cups sliced onions



2 tsp salt



2 1/2 tsp turmeric



1 Quart Vinegar



4 cups sugar



pickling spices for taste






Put salt on cucumbers and onions. Let stand for 1 hour. Drain well. Put in pan with sugar, vinegar & spices. Cook slow till sugar is dissolved. Then cook fast for about 30 minutes. Put in jars and seal.






Happy Cooking!
