Spicy Bread and Butter Pickles

Spicy Bread and Butter Pickles

I love bread and butter pickles but rarely buy them. I saw a recipe for quick refrigerator bread and butter pickles that looked easy and delicious so I decided to make them. I loved the kick that the chile pepper gave these sweet & tangy pickle chips. They are so delicious! I am enjoying them plain, on sandwiches, or on burgers. I don’t think these pickles will last long!

  1. I went through a phase in college where I ate all bread and butter pickles all the time! So good. I haven’t had any since then, but I think enough time has passed that I should revive my obsession.
