Simple to make "homemade bread and butter pickles". Tried and true family recipe. Unique taste. Great gift if you make several jars at one time. Keep refrigerated and tie a pretty ribbon around, and even a label if you like.
Pour pickles into colander and rinse well. Rinse jar as well. Place sugar, vinegar, mustard seed, and celery seed into boiler and bring to boil. Let boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Place pickles back in jar with garlic cloves and pour liquid over pickles. Refrigerate for several days before serving.
