Bread and Butter Pickles



 
I suppose it could be difficult to start the process of working my way through this recipe box.  Where to begin?  Several choices exist: 1)Start at the beginning and complete each recipe as it is filed, 2)Start with what my favorites might be (I mean, let’s be honest…I could completely skip over anything with mincemeat), or 3)Be in real need of making a particular dish.  

Out of necessity, I opted for #3.

My family participates in a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture).  We live in a suburb that isn’t conducive to having a garden (although the deer population would beg to differ), and I frankly don’t have time to devote to anything beyond my flower beds.  So, each year we pay to be "members" of a local organic farm, and receive a weekly box of fresh, seasonal produce that was harvested the day before.  Which brings me to my need…

I had an abundance of cucumbers!
