A quick and simple recipe for tangy, crunchy bread and butter pickle chips that are perfect as a snack or sandwich topper. Ready in under 45 minutes with a balanced sweet and tart flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium Kirby or pickling cucumbers, sliced into 1/8-inch thick chips
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup white vinegar (5% acidity)
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon celery seeds (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 small cinnamon stick (about 2 inches)
  • 3 whole cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers and onions with 1 tablespoon kosher salt. Toss well to coat evenly. Let sit for 1 hour, tossing occasionally.
  2. While the cucumbers rest, combine 1 cup white vinegar, 1 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 ½ cups sugar, mustard seeds, celery seeds, turmeric, cinnamon stick, cloves, and red pepper flakes in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar. Simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the spices.
  3. After 1 hour, rinse the salted cucumbers and onions under cold water to remove excess salt. Drain well and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  4. Place the drained cucumber and onion slices into clean glass jars or containers. Carefully pour the hot pickling liquid over the vegetables, making sure they’re fully submerged. Use a spoon to press down if needed.
  5. Let the jars cool to room temperature, then seal and refrigerate. The pickles will be ready to eat in about 24 hours but taste best after 2-3 days when flavors have melded beautifully.

Notes

Do not skip rinsing the salted cucumbers to avoid overly salty pickles. Simmer the brine gently to avoid caramelizing the sugar. Use fresh spices for best flavor. Refrigerate only; do not water bath can. Pickles taste best after 2-3 days of refrigeration.
