Bread and Butter Pickles

Submitted by WyomingMoonDust

"There is nothing like homemade pickles. Nothing! These are handed down again and again over generations in my family. I am afraid with my children not wanting to learn to preserve their own foods, the recipe will be lost forever. So I am posting it here. You can after pickles and brine are put into jars and put in the fridge for a cold packed pickle. Although this makes A LOT! Great to do on a Sunday afternoon when the men are watching sports... lol"
