Freezer Pickles

Marty grows the cucumbers, Jane delivers them to me and I make pickles for all of us. I just finished putting 12 containers of them in the freezer. Yeah, I know, freezer??! But they are so good and they even retain their crispness! We all love them.

Freezer Bread & Butter Pickles

7 cups cucumbers sliced thin
1 cup purple onion sliced
1/4 cup canning salt
*Let stand one hour and rinse with water and drain.
2 cups sugar
1 cup white vinegar
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon mustard seed
* Mix and pour over drained cucumbers and onions. Let sit on counter overnight. In the morning, put into containers and freeze. Enjoy all winter if you can keep them that long :)
