Sweet Bread-and-Butter Pickles

  1. With a knife or crinkle cutter, cut the cucumbers crosswise into 1/4-inch slices.
  2. You should have about 4 cups.
  3. Line a colander with two or three paper towels.
  4. Put the cucumbers and onion in the colander, cover with additional paper towels, and set a plate on top to slightly weigh the cucumber mixture down (this will help remove any excess moisture).
  5. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes.
  6. In a large saucepan, bring the remaining ingredients to a boil over high heat.
  7. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the cucumbers and onion.
  8. Cook for 3 minutes, or until tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
  9. Remove from the heat and let cool for 15 minutes.
  10. Transfer to an airtight container large enough to hold the cucumber mixture and liquid (a clean large pickle jar works well) and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
  11. The pickles will keep in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  12. Finely chop the cucumbers and onion, and add 1 finely chopped medium green or red bell pepper.
  13. Bring all the ingredients to a simmer over medium-high heat.
  14. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the relish is thickened, stirring occasionally.
  15. Store as directed on page 274.
  16. These dried berries from the Baies rose plant are not true peppercorns, but are peppery in taste and beautiful in color.
  17. Find them in gourmet shops or upscale grocery stores.
