Como fazer Bread And Butter Pickles Cukes Or Summer Squash
- Wash cucumbers or squash thoroughly.
- Trim 1/16 inch off the blossom end of each cucumber or squash and discard.
- Slice cucumbers or squash into 3/16-inch thick slices.
- Combine cucumber/squash slices and 1 large onion, thinly sliced, in a large bowl.
- Add 1/4 cup kosher salt.
- Cover the mixture with 2 inches of crushed ice.
- Refrigerate for 3-4 hours, adding more ice as needed. This draws out excess moisture for crispier pickles.
- In a large pot, combine: 2 cups white vinegar, 2 cups water, 2 cups sugar, 1 tablespoon celery seed, 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1 teaspoon mustard seed, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves.
- Bring the pickling liquid to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Drain the cucumbers/squash and onion mixture thoroughly. Add them to the boiling pickling liquid and gently heat to a simmer.
- Carefully pack the cucumber/squash and onion slices into sterilized pint jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace.
- Wipe jar rims clean, place lids and rings on jars. Process in a boiling water bath for the following times, depending on your elevation:
- Under 1000 ft elevation: 10 minutes
- 1000-6000 ft elevation: 15 minutes
- Over 6000 ft elevation: 20 minutes
- OR use the low-temperature pasteurization method detailed in the original recipe (link provided below).
- Remove jars and let cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal.
- **For Firmer Pickles (Optional):**
- Wash cucumbers or squash thoroughly.
- Trim 1/16 inch off the blossom end and discard.
- Slice into 3/16-inch thick slices.
- In a 2-3 gallon crock or enamelware container, mix 1 cup pickling lime with 1/2 cup kosher salt and 1 gallon of water. (Caution: Avoid inhaling lime dust.)
- Soak the cucumber/squash slices in the lime water for 12-24 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from the lime solution, rinse thoroughly, and soak for 1 hour in fresh cold water.
- Repeat the rinsing and soaking steps two more times.
- (Caution: Slices will be brittle. Handle with care.)
- Drain well before proceeding with step 2 (above).
