EASY FREEZER SWEET PICKLES



EASY Freezer Sweet Pickles image

I got this recipe from my mother-in-law, she has used it for 30 years and I will probably use it for 30 more!

Provided by Missyvixen1217

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 3h

Yield 2-3 Quarts

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 quarts thinly sliced cucumbers
2 sliced onions
2 tablespoons salt
1 cup white vinegar
3/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Mix Cucumbers and Onions together and sprinkle with salt, mix well and let stand 2-3 hours.
  • Rinse and drain well.
  • Mix Vinegar and Sugar till sugar is dissolved.
  • Put cucumbers and onions in freezer containers or freezer bags, pour vinegar/sugar mixture over cukes and onions (I only fill mine half full to leave room for expansion during freezing).
  • Freeze 3 weeks before eating, the longer you let them sit the sweeter the pickles.
  • Thaw in refrigerator or in cold water.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest cucumbers available. Look for cucumbers that are firm, bright green, and have no blemishes.
  • Wash the cucumbers thoroughly before slicing them. This will help to remove any dirt or bacteria.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the cucumbers. This will help to prevent them from becoming bruised or mashed.
  • If you are using a mandoline to slice the cucumbers, be sure to use the safety guard. This will help to prevent you from cutting your fingers.
  • Soak the cucumber slices in a salt water solution for at least 2 hours. This will help to draw out the excess moisture and make the pickles more crisp.
  • When making the pickling solution, be sure to use equal parts vinegar and water. You can also add other ingredients to the pickling solution, such as sugar, salt, spices, and herbs.
  • Bring the pickling solution to a boil before pouring it over the cucumber slices. This will help to kill any bacteria and ensure that the pickles are safe to eat.
  • Let the pickles cool completely before storing them in the refrigerator. This will help to prevent them from becoming cloudy.

Conclusion:

Crisp cucumber freezer pickles are a delicious and refreshing snack that can be enjoyed all year long. They are also a great way to use up extra cucumbers from your garden. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make your own crisp cucumber freezer pickles at home. So next time you have a few extra cucumbers, give this recipe a try!
