How to Make Diabetic Bread And Butter Pickles

  1. Combine 4 cups thinly sliced cucumbers, 1 medium onion thinly sliced, and 4 cloves of minced garlic in a large bowl.
  2. Sprinkle generously with 2 tablespoons pickling salt, cover completely with ice cubes, and let stand for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator. This draws out excess moisture for extra crisp pickles.
  3. Drain the cucumber mixture thoroughly in a colander, pressing gently to remove as much liquid as possible.
  4. In a large saucepan, combine 2 cups white vinegar, 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds, 1 tablespoon celery seeds, and 1 teaspoon turmeric.
  5. Bring the vinegar mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  6. Add the drained cucumber mixture to the boiling liquid. Return to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
  7. Remove the garlic cloves (they've done their job!).
  8. Stir in 1/2 cup of your preferred diabetic-friendly sweetener (such as stevia or erythritol). Adjust to your desired sweetness.
  9. Carefully ladle the hot pickle mixture into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe the jar rims clean, and seal tightly.
  10. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude – consult a canning guide for precise instructions).
  11. Let the jars cool completely. You should hear a satisfying 'pop' as the seals set. Store in a cool, dark place.
