Hi guys and thanks for watching!

Today we made our very own bread and butter pickles. We grew the cucumbers in our garden and decided to make some refrigerated pickles (non canned). Below is the recipe we used from the following blog:

Ingredients: 
1 1/2 - 2 pounds pickling cucumber
1 1/2 tbls. kosher salt
1 small onion sliced use to your taste

Brine Ingredients:
1 cups of white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tbls. mustard seeds
3/4 tsp. celery seeds
1/4 tsp. tumeric

Instructions:
Wash and sterilize canning jars
Wash the cucumbers
Slice the cucumbers
Put the cucumbers in a bowl and add the salt
Stir to combine and put into the refrigerator for one hour
After an hour transfer the cucumbers to a colander and rinse to remove the salt
Put the cucumbers back into your bowl and add the onions
Make the brine by adding all the brine ingredients to a saucepan
Stir and bring to a simmer, cook until the sugars are dissolved.
Pour the hot brine over the cucumbers and onions and let sit in the bowl for one hour
Put the pickles in the sterilized jars and refrigerate. These will stay for 3 weeks.
