"A great tasting bread and butter pickle from my collection, another of our favorites. Note -for all pickle recipes shared from my family cookbook I do not process my pickles - make as we have been making them in our area for generations. Processing does change the texture of most pickles. If you have safety concerns please check the recommendations in your area. Be sure to use non reactive containers (use stainless steel, unchipped enamel/porcelain - be sure your plastic bowls and containers are food grade)"
