Cucumber slices can be canned just like whole pickles.
Making your own bread and butter, or sweet, pickles isn't difficult when you know can at home. Using cucumber slices and some other necessary ingredients, you can make bread and butter slices to store for future uses regardless of the occasion. Canned sweet pickles, made with cucumber slices, can be made in just a few hours, and last for years.
Instructions
1. Add the water, sugar and vinegar to one of the stockpots.Stir in the cucumber slices, onion slices and allspice seasoning. This combination of ingredients lends to the flavor of bread and butter pickles.
2. Turn on the stove to a high setting and cover the stockpot. Allow the contents of the pot to boil continuously for 20 minutes. This softens the cucumber slices to make them firm yet tender. Turn off the stove.
3. Fill another stockpot half full with water. Turn on high heat to bring it to a rolling boil.
4. Scoop the contents from the other stockpot and fill eight 8-ounce canning jars with the mixture of cucumber and liquid.
5. Secure the lids on each jar.
6. Place four jars at a time in the large stockpot of boiling water. Allow them to boil for 15 minutes. This hot water bath seals the canning jar, preserving the pickles.
7. Remove the canning jars with canning tongs and set them out on your counter to cool to room temperature. This takes up to eight hours or more. These cans are now airtight and preserved. Opening them will release the freshness.
