Add a photoWell, it is that time of year. What to do with all those leftover cucumbers from your garden. Why you make bread and butter pickles of course. These I try to give as Christmas presents in a basket. I make about 40 jars in the summer. I end up with half that by the time Christmas comes around. They seem to disappear from my pantry. I like to put them in baskets with the jams and jellies I make throughout the year. I always try to use pickling cucumbers. Last year, I made some with the cucumber I purchased from the grocery store. What a disaster! They turned mushy when I processed them. There is nothing more disappointing than opening a can of homemade pickles expecting them to be crisp and they are mushy. They are surprisingly easy to make, and well worth it when you taste them months from now.
