Bread & Butter Pickles

Submitted by Kim A. Heaphy

"This is a recipe my mother use to make many years ago. I would normally say that it was one of my favourites but all of Mom's pickles were amazing! Posting it here now that I have the recipe so that it is at easy reference when I want to make another batch! Preparation time does not include allowing the vegetables & salt time to sit."
