Bread & butter pickles belong to summer so completely that a single taste can bring up memories of summers past in full color. Seeing the jar loaded with sliced cucumbers turned golden by turmeric and mustard seed is enough to put the snap of a garden cucumber in sweet-tangy brine on your tongue. That distinctiveness is what has had these pickles showing up in mason jars on American tables since before anyone thought to call it a recipe.
The Relish Barn makes these the right way: fresh cucumbers brined in pickling salt to draw out moisture and lock in that characteristic crunch, then packed in a carefully balanced sweet vinegar brine with mustard seed, onion, and spices. The result is a crisp, deeply flavored pickle with the kind of true bread-and-butter character that holds up on a burger, elevates a cheese board, or disappears straight from the jar before it ever makes it to the table.
