[Colonels_Wear_Blue]

Dill or homemade salt pickles.

 

Salt pickles?

Salt pickles?

 

Lol

 

I've always heard them called salt pickles or refrigerator pickles.

 

Basically a mixture of salt, water and vinegar (no dill) poured over sliced cucumbers and onions and left in a jar for a couple weeks.

Hmm...I might have to give that a try. I've got a couple of pickling cucumber plants that are currently days from being ready to unload enough for 6 or 8 jars.

I love about any kind, depends on the meal.

They're very good.

 

10 or 11 cups of water depending on how salty you like them. 1 cup of salt 1 cup of vinegar.

 

Boil them together, mix them well and dump the brine over a layer of sliced onions and speared cucumbers in a mason jar.

 

Let them sit in the refrigerator a couple weeks and enjoy.

We call these refrigerator pickles. My daughter can't get enough of them!

Do you go by a similar recipe ?

Do you go by a similar recipe ?

 

Yes but they don't wait weeks to eat them; usually just a day or two. I'll have to ask Mr. Cat if he boils the vinegar or not. I want to say he just cuts everything up, adds some vinegar and lets them sit. I don't eat them so I'm not positive of that.

I do those with garlic when I'm too lazy to can.

[rjs4470]

Do you go by a similar recipe ?

 

I've never heard of them with just salt. We always used sugar and celery salt in addition to the other ingredients you mention.

[WESTSIDE]

I love bread and butter pickles then dill if I'm eating them by themselves. I prefer dill pickles in tuna salad. In potato salad I prefer sweet pickles. On burgers dill or bread and butter pickles.

[ThrillVille Cardinal51]

Any of the above, but I lean towards bread and butter.

 

I've been known to make a sandwich with a crap load of bread and butter pickles, mustard and nothing else. Yum!

[coldweatherfan]

Bread and butter. Don't like the rest.
