Sounds weird, but this recipe is a quick and easy way to save, and later use, your overabundance of cucumbers from the garden. Just defrost and serve to friends and family as a special reminder of summer flavors, even in the dead of winter. Crunchy like pickles with a surprisingly pleasant flavor! Recipe courtesy of . Ingredients:
7 cups cucumbers, thinly sliced |
3 medium onions, thinly sliced |
1 green pepper, chopped |
2 cups sugar |
1 cup vinegar |
1/2 teaspoon celery seed |
1 tablespoon salt |
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients in large bowl.
2. Refrigerate for 24 hours.
3. Put in containers and freeze with the brine.
4. Just defrost to serve.
5. Tip: To save space and avoid freezer burn, I freeze this overnight in shallow freezer containers. Then, defrost slighty (or dip in a hot water bath) to release the food from the container. Seal the block of frozen food in a ziplock or seal-a-meal bag, label and stack back in the freezer until ready to use. This works great for all kinds of foods!
