Why remove the pickles? ;-)
I alwasy request extra ones......

I never liked pickles. Don't like anything that has pickles in it,
like relish, also I do tolerate some relish in tartar sauce in
restaurants. When I make my own tartar sauce at home I substitute
finely diced jalapeno peppers from the jar.

My brother used to gross me out by pouring a glass of pickle (yes,
cucumbers, Bob!) juice from the jar and drinking it. Ewwww!

I like to drink real fermented saurkraut juice, especially from new
kraut... but I have to agree, pickle juice is nasty.

I don't know what's in them either, but they are one of my favorite
pickles, especially if they are home canned! Sorry you don't like
them, but each to his own.

They have sliced cucumbers (usually medium-to-large cukes that are too
big to make good whole pickles) vinegar, water, sugar, salt, mustard
seeds, celery seeds, onions, and usually turmeric for color. They are
really good with a little bit of hot pepper in them, but that's not part
of the classic recipe. HTH :-)

Oh yeah. Its the vinegar component of the pickling
that lots of people don't like.

I've always wondered ... what is *in* "bread and butter
pickles"? I like dill pickles, sweet pickles, Kosher dills,
but those "bread and butter" things are just plain nasty,
with a noxious aftertaste that lingers.

Every now and then someone slips me one of those things in
the guise of a real pickle. Blech.

What's in them? See below. I like a good one. Not-so-good ones can be
pretty awful. My husband paid $175 for a jar of blue-ribbon winning
bread & butters at a fundraiser for the MN State Fair Foundation. I
only asked him to bid once, but he kept on a'going. Dufus.

Bread & Butter Pickles

Recipe By : posted again to rec.food.cooking by Barb Schaller,
10-11-05
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :4:00
Categories : Canning, Preserves, Etc.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 quarts sliced medium cukes (about 25)
3 cups sliced onions (about 4 medium)
2 green peppers -- chopped (or 1 red
and 1 green)
3 cloves garlic -- sliced
1/3 cup canning salt
5 cups sugar
3 cups cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric
1 1/2 teaspoons celery seed
2 tablespoons mustard seed

Combine cukes, onions, pepper, and garlic. Add salt; cover with cracked
ice; mix thoroughly. Let stand three hours, drain well. Combine second
column ingredients, pour over cuke mixture. Heat just to a boil. Seal
in hot, sterilized jars. Yield: 7-8 pints.

Source: Recipe is originally from an old Better Homes & Gardens
cookbook in 1983. I bring the brine mixture to a boil, then add the
cukes to it -- maybe that cooks them a little less? I also process the
jars in a boiling water bath for 10-15 minutes or so to insure a seal;
does not affect the crispness of the product.

NOTES : Blue Ribbon Winner at the Minnesota State Fair in 1983, 1984,
2001, 2003, 2004, 2005.
Deemed to be Best of the Pickles in 2001 -- Gedney prize.

No I didn't.

BTW, were those Nita S's pickles that Rob bid on? I *really* like
those; I buy them sometimes at Cub Foods. (Does Nita actually use high
fructose corn syrup and calcium chloride in her pickles, or did Gedney
add that?)

I think that's the part I don't like. I always leave 'em out.

No, they were not Nita's pickles; they were MINE!! I was asked to
donate a jar for the auction and got to thinking how humiliated I would
be if no one bid on them so I made him come along to the event to open
the bidding. Turns out they put three jars of different pickles in one
basket for the lot. And he just kept bidding!! LOL!! I told the story
on my website. I think the note is still there. He also got a jar of
pickled beets out of it. Sweet HeyZeus! And I'm pretty sure that Nita
doesn't put calcium chloride or high fructose corn syrup in her pickles.
I can tell you who to ask about it over in Chaska if you want to. :-0)

Thought the same myself until I picked up a small bottle of cryptically
labelled pickles at our Mediterranean grocery store. They looked like
baby dills, probably middle eastern, but I don't remember the brand.
They looked crisp, floating in a clean, clear liquid, with some
seasoning spices. But when I opened them . .Gag! I've never smelled a
worse smell, not rancid or spoiled, just OFF! My tastes aren't
sophisticated enough to identify the taste; I didn't even try.

Joann, do you make them? The recipe I posted can easily be reduced and
you would not have to process them if canning seems daunting. Just bring
the brine to boil and add the drained (after covering with ice for 3
hours) ingredients to it (or pour the boiling brine over the drained
ingredients) and refrigerate for eternal storage.

Hmmm. I like mine no more than about 1.5" diameter -- I'm not using a
slicing cuke. Length's less important.

I usually make B&B's with pickling cukes that got just a little too
large, or with the smallest diameter slicing cukes I can find. I
haven't had a decent cucumber crop in a few years, so I tend to make
small batches with storebought slicing cukes and slice them *very* thin.

I make B&B's using pickling cukes as well. The canned ones are good but
I have a recipe for freezer B&B's that is really good. The flavour is
excellent and more than comparable to canned unlike freezer jam which I
find runny and lacking compared to canned jams. Those not wanting to go
the canning route can easily do B&B's this way. The only thing is you
have to plan ahead a little to let them thaw instead of just opening a
jar. They keep well in the fridge after opening too.
