Dill plus bread & butter, Quick, Easy & No-Canning Needed!
I promise you it’s the easiest thing since bread & butter!
As a bonus, I’m including both bread & butter and dill pickles!
I don’t know about you, but there’s just something about opening that refrigerator door to have a big ole’ juicy jar of pickles looking back at you just waiting to be enjoyed on the back porch on a hot summer day! And if you live in the South, like I do….well you just might take a big ole’ swig of that pickle juice right out of that cold mason jar! Now that’s when you know you live in the South!
What is a Pickle?
Well, it’s simply a small cucumber preserved in a brine solution of vinegar.
Most pickles are varieties of cucumbers grown specifically for pickling.

Are Pickles Healthy or Good for You?
Pickles are indeed a low in fat, low calorie snack which include other benefits.
They can benefit by providing Vitamin K, Vitamin A, Potassium, Vitamin C, and Electrolytes
That being said, they can be high in sodium therefore people with high blood pressure may want to limit their intake of pickles.
