The name, “Bread and Butter Pickles,” was coined in 1924 by Cora and Omar Fanning, two farmers famous for their sweet and sour cucumber chips. As the story is told, the Fannings had fallen on rather hard times. The one shining light was their prolific supply of cucumbers and a family recipe loved by many. Bartering was still quite common in the 1920’s, so the Fannings started trading pickles for other grocery items, such as bread and butter. The fact they essentially earned a living trading their pickles for other staples might have also contributed to the catchy name.
If you have never had the pleasure of eating a bread and butter pickle, they are absolutely delicious. Crisp, crunchy, slightly sweet with a punch of brine, these pickles make a great addition to almost any sandwich. Place these pickles in a cute little jar and give them to your host or hostess at your next BBQ.
