Southern bread and butter pickles are a staple in many Southern households and for good reason. These tangy and slightly sweet pickles are the perfect accompaniment to any meal, from sandwiches to fried chicken. While store-bought versions are readily available, there's nothing quite like the taste of homemade pickles. In this article, we'll share a tried and true southern bread and butter pickle recipe that is sure to become a family favorite.
Ingredients
Brine:
1 cup distilled white vinegar
1 cup water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon celery seeds
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
Pickles:
2 pounds pickling cucumbers, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
To get the perfect balance of tangy and sweet, this recipe calls for both white vinegar and brown sugar. The addition of mustard and celery seeds adds a depth of flavor and the turmeric gives the pickles their signature bright yellow color. As for the pickles themselves, it's important to use pickling cucumbers as they have a thicker skin that holds up well in the brine.
Instructions
1. In a large pot, combine the vinegar, water, sugars, salt, and spices. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar and salt have dissolved.
2. Add the sliced cucumbers, onion, garlic, and dill to the pot and stir to combine.
3. Bring the mixture back up to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
4. While the brine is simmering, prepare your canning jars by sterilizing them in boiling water.
5. Using tongs, carefully transfer the pickles and brine into the prepared jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace.
6. Wipe the rims of the jars clean and seal with the lids and rings.
7. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
8. Once the jars have cooled, check to make sure they are properly sealed. Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and consumed within a few weeks.
9. Allow the pickles to sit for at least 2 weeks before opening to allow the flavors to fully develop.
This recipe makes about 3 pint-sized jars of pickles, but can easily be doubled or tripled for larger batches. The pickles will keep for up to a year in a cool, dark place. Once opened, store the pickles in the refrigerator for up to a month.
In conclusion, making your own Southern bread and butter pickles is a rewarding and delicious experience. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of patience, you can have a jar of homemade pickles to enjoy with your meals. So why not give this recipe a try and add a touch of Southern charm to your next meal?
