Bread and butter picks are sweet and so are the Yum's. They look like
the same.
Yes.
They might be. (they look the same in that picture) B&B pickles are
not as sweet as most "sweet pickles" and they are spiced primarily
with mustard seeds and celery seeds.

They are slightly less sweet and a little more spiced. And sliced.
What I make that I call B & Bs, but aren't really, are a _lot_ less
sweet and a _lot_ more spiced (with mustard, celery seed, hot pepper
flakes) and a mix of cucumbers and onions.

Very much a pickle person. We ate an entire jar of these with dinner
one night.

I love those things. Edrena Jones brought me some homemade B&B
pickles a few years ago, when she came up for my cook-in. They had a
chile in them,and they were so good!!
I finally got the book she said she used in making them (Joy of
Pickling) and I am taking the book with me to the bay area in
December. I think I see a bout of pickle making in my future!!
Serene or sf, or anyone else in the bay area, if you are reading this,
want to make pickles in December?

Yeehaw!!!! They make great gifts...among other things. If they last
that long...LOL.
I might bring another preserving book or two..LOL.
Lets have a pickling party!! See if Charlotte wants to pickle too...

I would be in for that action, possibly. Early in December? If they're
for gifts?
My late Great Aunt Marie used to make wonderful B&B pickles, the only
pickles I'd go out of my way to eat. They were wonderful, a taste
revelation to my 6-year old self. That woman could COOK! I wish I'd
spent more time with her.

I start my contract on December 14, but will be in town a week
earlier. Moving in to whereever on December 7. Already planning a
potluck/mini cook-in for December 12...as a Glad-To-Be-Back party.
Want to come over for that, and bring Lin and Bob (if they are
available)?
So, anytime between work and after December 8/9 would be great. I
have to get a bit settled in the first few days. But any of you are
welcome to come over then... I don't know how much room we would have
for making pickles at the apartment. I am not even sure where I will
be housed yet. Which would be the best place to have a picklin'
party?

This book has some great looking pickles, relishes, etc in it. I
think Barb can probably attest to this book... Maybe we can do more
than one sort of pickle, or relish, or whatever...

Yeah I know...LOL.
Remember, I will be in the SFBA then..and they might be available in
decent quantities in that area.
Here, it is a different matter.
Are there any other good relishes, etc from the Joy of Pickling, that
would be worthwhile making?
Christine
Your first reference to Bread & Butter Pickles named Edrena Jones--I
don't have that book, Christine. I've got lots of others, though. AFA
being worthwhile to make, I think that's subjective and will depend a
lot on what flavors and products you favor. Cucumbers vs other
vegetables vs fruits, etc.

Edrena has, at times, been a frequent poster on rec.food.preserving and
makes a wide variety of pickles. Not a book. :-) I also have Joy of
Pickling that Christine has. I've found some very good recipes there.

Edrena is a joy.
Which recipes do you like, Wayne?
Christine
Edrena prompted me to buy the Joy of Pickling by sending me a couple of
jars of the Pickled Beets in Red Wine. They are truly delicious.
There are so many good recipes in that book. I really like the English
Pub-Style Pickled Onions, and almost always have some in the fridge.
The Old Fashioned Bread-and-Butters are very good with just the right
balance, I think.
Once a year I like to make the Dark Watermelon Pickles.
I've made probably 30 or so recipes from the book, and would like to make
more. None have failed or disappointed.
When we lived in Ohio I had an ideal place for making fermented pickles,
but not so here in AZ. I've pretty much given up on fermented pickle
recipes except for make a jar of half-sours. The recipe in the book is
good, although I've also used other recipes for those.

which ones do you like, wayne? i have the book, but i'm leery of the work
involved with the hot water bath and the quantities most of the recipes
produce.

My B & B are loosely based on the two recipes in that book. I've
enjoyed what we have made out of it just about 100% of the time.

Blake, right now I'm at work and my book is at home. I will post a list of
several for you tonight. In general, most recipes can be cut down to
produce only a jar or two, and that quantity can usually be kept
successfully in the fridge, rather than going through the process of BWB.

Blake, all of these can be reduced to make 1 or 2 jars and can be kept in
the fridge instead of processing them in a BWB.
Old-Fashioned Bread-and-Butters, p. 95
Dutch Lunch Spears, by the Quart, p. 92 (I double the vinegar and sugar)
Half-Sours, by the Quart, p. 43
English Pub-Style Pickled Onions, p. 132
Pickled Okra, p. 131
Sweet Pickled Lemons, p. 166
I wasn't really sure what kind of pickles you wanted, but these are all
good and easy to make. I've made 30 or so recipes from the book and all
turned out well.

i want to try the pcikled onions at some point. i know i asked this here
before, but has anyone used frozen pearl onions for this or similar?
your pal,
blake
I really like the taste and texture of English pickled onions in malt
vinegar but they are expensive to buy and hard to find. I got a good
recipe on r.f.cooking years ago and made some for myself. Unfortunately,
you have to steep the onions in brine for a month and it's hard to be
that patient.

mushy.

i guess i'll just have to try it and see. i made some refrigerator pickles
with frozen cauliflower that turned out pretty well.

Blake, ping Marilyn on rec.food.preserving--I have a vague recollection
that she used some frozen pearl onions in a pickle this summer/fall.
Can't hurt to ask.

IIRC years ago I made some jardiniere with frozen pearl onions (eye appeal
is a biggie with jardiniere, I gave it as gifts), the onions were just
fine...
