BREAD AND BUTTER PICKLES

Wash and slice 12 medium cucumbers and 2 medium onions. Layer in a gallon container. In a saucepan put 3 cups sugar, 3 cups vinegar (1 cup can be dill vinegar) and the package of mix. Stir over medium heat just until sugar is dissolved. Pour over cucumbers and add enough water so liquid covers cucumbers. Stir. Cover and refrigerate at least 24 hours before eating, stir occasionally. Keeps 3 months in refrigerator. Other veggies to try: Cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, green, red or yellow bell peppers or zucchini.

Another Option- For a nice Fall mix I like to use a combination of broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and red, green and yellow bell peppers. It makes a nice taste and color combination for the Fall and for the Holidays.
My herb friend, Susan Belsinger, makes the pickles with this mix but she uses 3 cups of organic apple cider vinegar, 2/3 cup sugar, 2/3 cup honey and a variety of vegetables. Sounds YUMMY.

3 cups white distilled vinegar (1 cup can be Dill Vinegar)

Heat all ingredients in a saucepan to dissolve salt and pour over pickles and add enough water so liquid covers cucumbers. Stir. Cover and refrigerate at least 24 hours before eating, stir occasionally. Keeps 3 months in refrigerator.
