Easy Bread and Butter Pickles for July 4th!

Hey everyone! Our friend Yvonne at StoneGable has started a new weekly meme-On The Menu Monday! It can be for the week or for a specific event. This week I'm planning and sharing a recipe for the 4th of July that needs to be made at least five days ahead of time.

Mamaw's Refrigerator Bread and Butter Pickles.
These pics are from last year, they are a great, simple, crispy pickle!
I think you'll be happy if you add them to your July 4th menu:@)

I made 1/2 batch using my Lock-N-Lock bowl.
Cukes, onion and peppers, I didn't have bell peppers so I added  one Hungarian wax and three small Jalapenos from the garden. I wanted to try a pickle with a little heat to it!
I'm going to make the green bell peppers stated in the recipe this year.
Vinegar, sugar, celery seed, salt, add lid and shake... this is starting to look good!
Gotta believe any recipe by Mamaw has to be a good one!
I copied this before I started blogging so I didn't note who it was from, I found it on-line.
Enjoy!
This recipe's a keeper! 
Note: It does assume we have access to fresh garden or farm stand cukes.

Mamaw's Refrigerator Bread and Butter Pickles
7 C sliced, unpeeled cucumbers
1 C sliced onion
1 C sliced green peppers
1 C cider vinegar
2 C sugar
1 Tblsp celery seed
1 Tblsp salt
Mix everything together cold and store covered in fridge. Let sit for 5 days so flavors can mingle. The author writes these keep for months in the fridge, if they last that long!

    One of my favorite pickles. I buy them in the store all the time. They are not nearly as good as home made. You must dearly enjoy cooking and canning. I know your family is never disappointed when they set down to a meal.

    I love bread and butter pickles. I'm thinking the addition of those jalapenos is going to give you the heat you are looking for.

    Happy 4th of July!

    Oh yum! I LOVE B & B pickles! I think I will try them with some jalapenos. I just picked abut 12 of them and was thinking of things to make besides stuffing them with cream creese and frying them. LOL

    Love the idea of adding the jalapeno peppers to the mix, I bet it give the pickles a great kick.

    Thought of your Blog title yesterday when I saw a cute pig in an antique shop. He was about two feet tall and had a cute face.

    Those look delicious just like my grandma's pickles.

    I've never made pickles. My sister decided to make some for the first time last week. She's decided to just buy them from the grocery store next time.

    I do not like bread & butter pickles, but my hubby does. I made these and added 1t red pepper flakes - loved the idea of giving them a little spice. Hubby said they were the best pickles he ever ate! They smelled so good I had to try them....yum, they are actually good! This is only bread and butter pickle I have ever liked. I just picked a bunch of cucumbers from my garden yesterday, so I will be making another pot of them today.
