24 Steps to Can Bread 'n Butter Pickles

Step 8, Salt down the Cucumbers

As Paul slices the batch of cucumbers, Bernice will put them into our stainless steel pot. She has measured out a half cup of ordinary salt to sprinkle on the layers of each cucumber batch. She will add intermittently the cup of onion sliced segments as she works. This large pot will hold three batches of cucumbers and onions. You want the salt sprinkled evenly throughout the cucumbers and onions. Use canning salt if you desire, we just use ordinary salt. Your choice.
