Refrigerator Bread and Butter Pickles

To me a big part of summer is preserving the bounty from the garden. Sometimes I don't have enough cucumbers to water bath can a whole batch, but still want to use them up. I found this recipe for Refrigerator Bread and Butter Pickles and it sounded like something I wanted to try...

And back to pics from 2010...

I'm making 1/2 batch and using a Lock-N-Lock bowl.

Cukes, onion and peppers, I don't have bell peppers yet so I'm adding one Hungarian wax and three small Jalapenos from the garden. I wanted to try a pickle with a little heat to it.

Vinegar, sugar, celery seed, salt, add lid and shake... This is starting to look good...

Ok folks, this is the first time I'm making this. So I can only say that each time I've fished a few out of the bowl when I walk past the fridge they are great, can't wait to see how they are in a few days. 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!

Day five update - oh yea, these are good, crunchy and sweet! I'll keep this recipe, they would be great for a 4th of July B-B-Q.

2024 Update: I make these every-single-year, good stuff folks:@)
