If you are on the hunt for a delicious sweet pickle with a bit of added zip, these British Bread and Butter Pickles might be exactly what you are looking for. Perfect with your favourite sandwich, or on a picky plate with vegan cheese and charcuterie type things. The recipe is from the Bernardin home preserving cookbook, but I converted it for the amount of pickling cucumbers I had - a 5 lb bag.
This post isn't going to walk you through the ins and outs of proper canning processes - there are better resources for that, but I will share the recipe and basic steps. British bread and butter pickles vs Regular Bread and Butter Pickles The British variety of this recipe swaps out white sugar and vinegar for brown sugar and apple cider vinegar. To me, this just makes sense. Brown sugar and ACV are going to lend more complex flavour to the final product. The spices used are mostly the same. You will find Celery Seed, Mustard Seed and Turmeric in both, but the British version also adds powdered ginger. A generous amount of thinly sliced white onion is also tossed into the mix. I don't really have much to add here. Find the best quality in season pickling cucumbers you can, and try the recipe for yourself. I'm so glad I did, because now I will be making these every summer to enjoy all winter long.
