REFRIGERATOR BREAD & BUTTER PICKLES

So easy & wonderfully crips. Keeps all year in refrigerator. (I promise they won't last too long!) Your family will love them.

Fill a glass gallon jar with a screw lid with sliced cucumbers. Add 5-7 sliced onions, (if you choose you can even slice carrots thin & add them). Heat the following to a boil:

2 1/2 cup white sugar
3 cups white vinegar
1/3 cup salt
1 teaspoon alum
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon mustard seed
1 teaspoon tumeric

Boil brine until sugar has dissolved. Pour brine over the cucumbers. Stir often. (at least for 2-3 days) I have even added hot peppers to one jar and make another with dill seed in them with all the same spices.

My family just love them. I hope you enjoy these. They really stay crispy. Let me know. Sincerely, Mary Smeal
