Bread and Butter Pickles Recipe. Slicing cucumbers are smooth skinned, and mostly are a rich dark green. Their skin is thick, their flesh is soft. True to their name, they slice up beautifully and make wonderful additions to garden salads.
Add the cucumbers to the bucket. Add 1 cup of white vinegar and 3/4 cup of pickling salt to the bucket. Pour approximately 1 gallon of water into the bucket. Add 10 fresh peeled garlic cloves, 1/8 cup of pickling spices and 1 bunch of dill to the bucket so that they float on top of the cucumbers. Place a plate that is slight smaller than the diameter of the bucket on top of the mixture. Fill a 1-quart jar with water and place the jar on top of the plate.
