Bread and Butter Pickles

Keyword: cucumbers, pickles

Ingredients

  • 3 cups (approximately) 1 medium to large cucumber, cut in slices
  • 1/2 cup cider vinegar
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons pickling spice
  • 2 tablespoons water (approximately)

Instructions

  • Slice the cucumbers into a wide-mouth quart jar.
  • Heat all but cucumbers until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture begins to boil. Immediately pour over the cucumbers, cover tightly, and shake to distribute the liquid throughout the cucumbers.
  • Allow to sit at room temperature or in the refrigerator for a few hours, shaking occasionally as the cucumbers "wilt" and settle into the liquid.
