Rasbo, can you post your steps for the bread and butter. We just got into canning our cucs that are growing like weeds. Going to try your dills above tomorrow and hopefully the bread and butters the next round.

Have you ever substituted with apple cider vinegar?  You should try it.

will do,

Was just reading through this topic and was going to post, then saw the exact same thing I apparently posted 4 years ago.

                                    Bread and Butter pickles

                                                         Brine
6 cups vinegar
5 cups sugar
3 tbls mustard seed
1 1/2 tbls turmeric
1 tsp allspice   
                                          vegies
7 cucumbers
2 large onions
2 red peppers
 
Cut cukes 1/4 inch thick same with onins and peppers,put these in a large bowl and sprinkle with kosher salt as you layer these. I use about a 1/4 cup of salt...then cover with ice and let set in the refer for at least 3hrs.After they have set rinse and drain well..have your brine made up and boil for 10 minutes,dump your pickles and onions and peppers into brine and let it come back to a boil,then fill your jars and water bath for 10 minutes,,

I do this same recipe and use fresh Jalapeno peppers instead of cukes,wow what a killer relish  Enjoy

I didn't realize this post was so old at first, I was wondering how green beans and that were ready already.

Started making our dill pickles last night, similar brine as Rasbo's but equal parts water and vinegar, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup canning salt, peppercorns, mustard seed, sliced fresh jalapeños, fresh dill, and a grape leaf for crunchiness. I was drooling all night and all day today just thinking about them. I go through a couple dozen quarts a year, sometimes once opened they are gone in one sitting
