FREEZER PICKLES (or not!) image

I have made these since God was a child! We freeze some at the end of the season & just keep them in the fridge & eat them during the season.They have a sweet, slightly salty taste & you can't stop eating them.

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 cup(s) peeled & sliced, pickling cucumbers
1/2 cup(s) pickling salt
- water
2 cup(s) small pearl onions or just cut up regular onions
1 cup(s) white vinegar
1 cup(s) sugar

Steps:

  • In large bowl, combine salt & enough water to cover the cucumbers.
  • Once salt is dissolved, add the cucumbers & onions.
  • Place a saucer on top of them to hold them down under the water.
  • Let set for 4 hours on counter top.
  • Meanwhile, add sugar & vinegar to a medium sauce pan & bring just to a boil. Remove from heat & cool completely.
  • Pour water solution off of cucumbers & rinse & drain.
  • Place in container suitable for freezing, if that's your intentions, or just place in fridge container with tight lid. I use a 1/2 gallon canning jar.
  • Pour vinegar solution over them & either freeze right away or place in fridge overnight before serving.
  • We eat them as an appetizer, as a side dish or just however you like.
  • These will keep for quite a while, if they last that long!
