Bread & Butter Pickles

By Chef Thomas Schmidt

Ingredients

• 25 cucumbers
• 2 large sweet onions
• 2 green bell peppers
• ½ cup kosher salt

Wash cucumbers and slice in 3/8’ slices. Peel and thinly slice onions, wash, trim. Dice bell pepper into ¼” dice. Mix all together with salt and let sit for 1 hour. Let all water drain off and put in a non-reactive container, such as plastic.

In a stainless-steel sauce pan, bring the following ingredients to a boil:

• 5 cups apple cider vinegar
• 4 cups sugar
• 2 tsp celery seed
• 2 tbsp yellow mustard seeds
• 15 whole garlic cloves

When the mixture comes to a boil, pour over the cucumbers. When cool, cover and put in refrigerator overnight. Enjoy with a burger of your choice!
