How to Make Barbs Bread Butter Pickles
- Combine cucumber and onion slices in a large bowl. Sprinkle generously with kosher salt and cover with ice cubes.
- Let stand for 1 1/2 hours, allowing the cucumbers to release excess moisture.
- Drain the cucumbers and onions thoroughly. Rinse well under cold water to remove excess salt.
- In a large saucepan, combine white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, sugar, yellow mustard seeds, celery seeds, turmeric powder, ground cloves, and black peppercorns.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Add the drained cucumbers and onions to the boiling vinegar mixture. Return to a boil and cook for 2 minutes, stirring gently.
- Carefully pack the hot pickle mixture into sterilized canning jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace at the top of each jar.
- Remove air bubbles by running a non-metallic utensil (like a clean knife or chopstick) down the sides of the jars.
- Wipe the rims of the jars clean. Adjust the jar lids and rings, ensuring they are tightly sealed.
- Process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude—consult a reliable canning guide for altitude adjustments).
- Remove jars from the canner and let them cool completely. You should hear a ‘pop’ sound as the jars seal. Check for proper sealing by pressing down on the center of each lid. If the lid doesn't flex, it's sealed!
