Bread and Butter Pickles Despite their name, they have neither bread nor butter in their list of ingredients.  So where did the name come from?   We don’t know for certain but some trace their origin back to the Great Depression when homemade bread and butter could be made inexpensively as were pickles made from homegrown cucumbers.  Slices of white bread were spread with butter and layered with pickles.  And so the term bread and butter pickles came about.These old-fashioned bread and butter pickles have the perfect balance of sweet and sour and retain their crunch beautifully if you store them in the fridge.  If you decide to water bath can them they’ll retain some crunch but not as much and the crunch will continue to decrease over time.My favorite way to enjoy these pickles is on sandwiches.  They make any cheese and cold cuts sandwich ten times better!  They’re also great on burgers or chopped up and added to potato, macaroni, chicken, or tuna salads.
