No-Canning-Needed Bread and Butter Pickles

Can we do a little bragging? We published this recipe in COOKING LIGHT a few years ago and it got a five-star rating from their test kitchen. They apparently give out less than a dozen of those a year.

We've made it every year since. In the summer, we like to bring the jar out from the fridge, set it in the middle of the coffee table, and let our friends nibble away over margaritas or other cocktails.

No doubt: these pickles are a treat. What's more, they keep for a month. So grab some cukes and let's make pickles!
