Recipe: Bread and Butter Pickles

Book a Table

House-made bread-and-butter pickles are sweet, tangy, appeal to kids and adults and make just about any sandwich, burger or hot dog taste better. We especially love them on the fried chicken sandwich at the Mayflower Inn and Spa. Executive Chef Lacey Lou Franklin’s quick recipe can easily be recreated at home.
