I began pickling when I was about 39 years old. I am still carrying on at 71 years of age. No one in my first generation Americans on both sides of my family tree did any of this. But my husband’s many generational American farm family did. So I carried on 100 years old recipes for sour pickles and I developed my bread and butter pickles so very similar to your recipe including the peppers and onions. Thank you so very much for your video. I loved it. To bad I have no one to share this with. Thanks again! Lorie
My grandmother was a canner but not my mom. Now me and my elder sister are canners and we teach our friends and neighbors. We would love to have your recipe to pass on to a younger generations who loves canning💖💕
I was fortunate enough to have my great grandmother until I was 19 years old! I loved the way she made made her bread & butter pickles. She added the same ingredients y'all did. BUT, she added a cinnamon stick to each jar. Oh my! That really made the overall difference to each jars flavor!! Y'all have a beautiful day. 🌻 💜 🥒 🌷 🌼 🌹
They are called Bread and Butter pickles because back in the depression they would butter bread then put the pickles on it so the bread would not get soggy, for a meal. They were much better than the alternative. In those days every farm had pickles. My Mom said she ate them many times. Her father took them to work. Thanks for this!
I heard it was because people were poor and put these on butter sandwiches because it's all they had. I'm not sure why these type in particular would keep bread dry.
@@carowells1607 the butter provided a barrier so that the pickle juice wouldn't soak through the bread. And the reason everyone would have had these is because back then many more people did pickling and canning and it would have been very common to pickle cucumbers. They were inexpensive and growing them was easy as well. Also, it just makes sense that people would make pickles (pickled cucumbers) when doing their canning/pickling.
I love making my own pickles, especially bread & butter. To anyone watching this, I would also suggest adding these other vegetables to your mix: carrots ( they are already sweet & taste great in the brine.) Corn, cut fresh off the cob. cherry or grape tomatoes, frozen peas, celery, cauliflower, broccoli. all of these go really well with the cucumbers, peppers, and, onions, so give them all a try. Happy Pickling!
Hi, you seem pretty well informed on this topic. I'm just getting going on fermenting and pickling foods. How long does a jar of said pickles last, stored properly? and do you find different vegetables age out differently? Appreciate any insights you care to share.
@@Dystopian63 If you properly seal & pressure can them -- they should easily last 8+ Months. But if you only seal them and skip the pressure canning step they will only around 3 months (at best).
After watching one clip from 2017's "Canning Classics" yesterday, I was wondering if the other shoe was going to drop, and you didn't disappoint. First strawberry jam, and now pickles. Thank you!
Thank you for a great video. I LOVE all of the teaching you do. I had heard of the lower temperature water bath processing for pickles but didn't know why the 180-185°F water temperature was important. Thank you again from Tennessee😊
I made a batch of these, 10 days ago, they came out great. I'm diabetic, so I used 1 1/4 cups of Truvia, instead of sugar. I don't have a canning pot, with a rack, to keep them off the bottom.........what I do have is a sous vide immersion circulator. I got the water to 140°, put the jars in, set the sous vide for 185° for 30 minutes and walked off. I think on the next batch, I'll use just 1 cup of Truvia, to lower the sweetness. They had a bit of a bit, from the apple cider vinegar. I'm going to change it to 2 cups of apple cider and 1 cup of distilled white vinegar.
I made this recipe today. It was easy to do. I used the slicer for my Kitchen Aid Professional. I used my water bath canner but I have a glass top stove. I worry about the weight and so I use it on the BBQ. Works like a charm. I haven't tasted them yet though. I tasted them today and they are great!!
Love, love, love bread and butter pickles, so thanks for this. I've made my own keto friendly version in the past by adding Equal to jars of dill slices and leaving them to age in the fridge for a couple weeks. The real deal seems pretty easy.
I LOVE really GOOD bread'n'butter pickles. My grandmother made the best ones, but I have no idea what her recipe was so I keep searching for one I like. I'm going to try these....when these two started to take that first bite, my mouth began to water! and I could hear the crunch. Yum. Another secret to crisp pickles like these is to be mindful of the thickness. Not too thick but not too thin, either. And I've never known bread'n'butters to have anything other than cukes and onions in them.
I made these over the weekend and followed the recipe to the letter, but they're not very good. I don't know if it's because the apple cider vinegar is too intense? I got Bragg's which is pretty strong. Did anyone else have this experience? I'm glad I only made the one batch.
My concern was lowering the amount of sugar. As a UC certified Master Canner I was taught the ratio of vinegar to sugar is important to preventing botulism, especially if not refrigerated. I assume they checked with the USDA or a university food science department on whether the proportions in the recipe are ok. Heating the lids in boiling water for 5 minutes helps soften the rubber and gives a tighter seal. I also would not test the seal by pulling up on the edge of the lid. If the sealing and canning directions are followed as given, you will have a good seal. Lid must be flat and sound hollow when tapped. Let all canned goods sit 24 hrs. to be sure seal is firm and before storing outside a refrigerator.
@@kiltedcripple Here is a bread and butter pickle recipe from UC California's publication I got when I took its Master Food Preserver class. 4 qts cucumbers, 1 quart sliced onions 1/2 C salt, 1 quart regular white or apple cider vinegar, 2 C sugar, 2 tsp celery seed, 2 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp. ground mustard or 2 tsp mustard seed (what I use). Slice cucumbers and onions medium thick. Arrange in layers, sprinkling some salt over each layer. Let stand 2-3 hours, drain thoroughly, and rinse. Combine remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Add cucumbers and onions. Cook 5 minutes. Pack hot into clean hot jars to within 1/2" of the top. Cover with liquid, leaving 1/2" of headspace. Remove air bubbles by running a plastic knife or spatula between food and jar. Wipe jar rims with a clean, damp cloth, position lids and rings. Hand-tighten, but do not over tighten. Place in a deep kettle on a rack, making sure water is at least 1/2" above the tops of the jars. Process 10 minutes (starting count after water has reached 180-185 degrees F. Keep temp constant). Remove jars from bath onto a rack or folded towel. Keep away from drafts. Rings will be looser than when you put them on. Do not tighten them. Allow to cool 24 hrs before storage.

@@katypye745 you're using 4 cups of vineger to 2 cups of sugar, they're using 3 cups of vinegar to 2 cups of sugar. How is that ratio a problem? The USDA page for bread and butter pickles uses a cup of vinegar to a cup of sugar BUT it uses a fraction of the salt, a half cup. If I were looking at this, I'd note that the salt is dry brining your veggies before you can them, and salt is your prime driver, besides the vinegar, for successfully killing botulism. Not saying you may not have a point about food safety, but the ratio of vinegar to sugar isn't the issue. Or at least, not per the recipe you so kindly provided. I would definitely encourage people to do a full sterilization on their jars first, just for safety sake. It's not hard. And use the recommended low temp pasteurization, 180 to 185F for 40k minutes, once your jars are filled.
Had no idea about the low temp canning method. My granny made bread & butter pickles and they were fantastic. No idea how she did it but they were amazing.
AWESOME pickles. I added some chilies (jalapeno and habanero) as well as pepper flakes to the brine. Thanks for the tip about temperature, results are very crunchy
This is a great recipe. I can sum this morning just bought a few cucumbers at the store and used your recipe. This is the third time I've made these and they are wonderful.
I love your recipe! But I need that garlic too! But I am still glad to see a lower sugar recipe. I would love to see y’all making kosher dills and garlic pickles too. Half Sour Pickles are my favorite but I cannot seem to make them?!!
I also had a bad time with dill pickles. I found a recipe that was easy and good. Use the herbs you want. You have to cook your brine to taste. Since its vinegar in it and salt you don't have to worry about preserving it. I basically use 1 cup of vinegar two tbsp salt and water to taste. I cook it with the herbs. This is important. Let the brine totally cool down to room temp. Fill your jars with pickles. Pour the brine over them. Extra brine put in the refrigerator.
Oh for got. I don't know exactly when they were ready. 2 weeks later I opened the jar. Dill pickles tasted like I was eating them from my childhood store.
It looks simple and easy. When i was young my grandmother made cauliflour & watermelin rinds in pickles. Look in used book stores for old recipe cookbooks that might be helpfull in digging up older recipes. Maybe there might be canning clubs out there that share helpful hints.
Back home in northeastern PA my grandparents made a pickle called Chow Chow that was unripe green tomatoes, onion, cauliflower, green pepper (I think) but I can't recall the spice mix.
My mom used to make regular pickles, but my husband prefers this type. So, I'm going to make this recipe substitute the sugar using Monk Fruit. Thank you!
I had a great time making 4 pints of pickles from the cukes in my garden. Thanks for posting such a great video. Easy to follow, take notes, and replay important parts. ??🤔I have leftover "Brine", can I save and use later or should I discard🤔??
Save it and make another batch of pickles 🙆♀️❣ You could also add it to some sliced up cucumbers & diced peppers & onions and put them in the refrigerator and wait 1 day & eat them. These are called refrigerator pickles. You don't have to can them as long as you wait 1 day before eating them❣ Enjoy❣
I was looking for a bread and butter pickle recipe that used less sugar than the one I have, so I decided to try this one. I won't know about the taste because at this moment they are processing in the hot water bath! I can say that I had an excess of brine, more than double what I actually needed! I even weighed my cucumbers before and after slicing them! I'll definitely save the excess brine hoping that we make more pickling cucumbers!
Something you didn't mention, jars shouldn't be stored with the rings on! It gives a false sense of security for a seal. As soon as the jars are cool, take the ring off and test the seal by tapping the top, then pick up the jar BY THE SEAL. If the jar is sealed, that's when you'll know. Just pick it up a scant bit up off the towel. If it isn't sealed, eat those first.😊❤
This is a great video, thanks. I’m only just beginning to start pickling, and have never tried the hot water canning method, but will give it a go in a couple of months when our veggies are ready. Great videos ATK.
This is almost exactly the way my Grandfather taught me to make B&B pickles 45 years ago. He didn't use pickle crisp or turmeric and added coriander seed
omg, I was dishearted that I didn't have mustard seeds to make these pickles, then read the comment about coriander seeds and BINGO! I have some in my spice collection. Love coriander flavor. 😃😃
The History of Bread & Butter Pickles. Around the turn of the century (1900) there was a cucumber farmer in Illinois who was trying to figure out what to do with the cucumbers that no one would buy because they were misshapen. His wife said why don't we make pickles out of them and pulled out her Mother's pickle recipe. They made a batch and took it to the local grocery store and traded the pickles for ... you guessed it ... Bread & Butter ... Hence the name. B&B pickles became the first American food rage. By the end of the 1920s if you did not have B&B pickles on your dinner table you did not have a well-set table. On a fun note, B&B pickles are one of the few true American pickles. Unlike most of our pickles, they never existed in Europe. I don't think there is a "wrong" recipe for B&B pickles. When I started making mine I asked my Mom for the recipe she always used when I was a kid. She sent me that recipe plus all of my Aunt's various recipes. I ended up having to put together a spreadsheet of ingredients and make my B&B pickles out of the most common ingredients PLUS, like Dave's Famous Pickles, I add red serrano peppers from my garden. (I think Dave uses red jalapenos.)
You can also make pickled watermelon! Use a peeler, or knife to remove cleaned watermelon rind. You want to use ALL of the white, & light pink rind. Cube &/or cut that rind all up to not waste any. It's just as simple as making the B & B pickles!! 🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉
Ball advises not to boil the lids since they changed the sealing compound a few years back. You can heat if you wish but don't boil anymore like we did in earlier days.
After seeing the review on the pot and lifter I came to see the video on the pickles. Looks like a great recipe. One clarification though: the first ridge is 1 inch, not 1/2 inch. I still like you, Dan. :)
I really like your recipe...you're right...store bought B&B pickles are too sweet. However, I will add 1 or 2 red peppers for a little kick. Thanks for sharing 😊

By the end of the 1920s if you did not have B&B pickles on your dinner table you did not have a well-set table. On a fun note, B&B pickles are one of the few true American pickles. Unlike most of our pickles, they never existed in Europe. I don't think there is a "wrong" recipe for B&B pickles. When I started making mine I asked my Mom for the recipe she always used when I was a kid. She sent me that recipe plus all of my Aunt's various recipes. I ended up having to put together a spreadsheet of ingredients and make my B&B pickles out of the most common ingredients PLUS, like Dave's Famous Pickles, I add red serrano peppers from my garden. (I think Dave uses red jalapenos.)
Brilliant!!!
Dan is the best
I have got to try this.
Thank you I gotta try this
Damn Daniel! Back at it again with the great recipes.
Waiting for my pickles to grow so I can make mine. Great ideas TY.

This dude just keeps roasting that lady lmao. Too funny, and very informative. Thank you!
Omigosh I could never do this. I would be too nervous. They look so so so yummy!!

Great episode!
You can also make pickled watermelon! Use a peeler, or knife to remove cleaned watermelon rind. You want to use ALL of the white, & light pink rind. Cube &/or cut that rind all up to not waste any.
It's just as simple as making the B & B pickles!! 🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉
Would zucchini work?
Good video, like the addition of the onion and red pepper. I've always thought you had to boil the lids to soften up the rubber seal?
that was probably done off camera
Ball advises not to boil the lids since they changed the sealing compound a few years back. You can heat if you wish but don't boil anymore like we did in earlier days.
I love this recipe! Adding the peppers is great! Thanks!
Yumm! My grandmother made pickles every summer when I was a kid.
Thanks for sharing recipe / video. Can you please do one on full pickles.
Thanks Dan, I'll never cut a pepper the same again
Thank you so much
I will try it
After seeing the review on the pot and lifter I came to see the video on the pickles. Looks like a great recipe. One clarification though: the first ridge is 1 inch, not 1/2 inch. I still like you, Dan. :)
I really like your recipe...you're right...store bought B&B pickles are too sweet. However, I will add 1 or 2 red peppers for a little kick.
Thanks for sharing 😊
