How to make Homemade bread and butter pickles
1) Wash cucumbers, slice into 0.5cm thick rounds, and place in a heated, sterilized mason, kilner or jar with horseradish and fresh dill weed.
2) Set a large pot over medium heat and add vinegar, sugar, water, garlic and pickling spices. Bring the brine to a boil then pour over cucumbers and horseradish in still-hot mason jar and seal lid.
3) Allow to cool to room temperature before refrigerating.
