Homesteading: A Woman's Journey

Bread & Butter Pickles

When Joe and I were team driving a couple of years ago, we traveled through Wisconsin.  At a little deli in an out of the way area, the lady was selling some Bread & Butter Pickles that a local woman made & canned. These pickles had not just thinly sliced cucumbers, but also had chopped up onions and red & green bell peppers in them!  These peppers were wonderful!

At the time, I was pregnant with Abbie and many times, Joe would look in the bunk area of the truck to find me sitting on the bunk, snacking on these pickles - straight from the jar!  He would laugh and talk about how "cute" it was.

Well, I have been getting hungry for these pickles again lately.  Living in Oklahoma, I have no way of finding that little deli again.  Does anyone have a recipe that sounds similar to these pickles?  I remember the pickles were very crunchy and had a bit of a sweet flavor to them.

I would really appreciate any recipes or replies on this!

Thanks & God Bless!

I have a wonderful bread and butter recipe with the onions. I've never added the green peppers as I'm the only one that likes them. I'll try to remember the recipe Friday when I come back. The peppers aren't listed but I'm sure you could add them.
