Crunchy sweet-sour pickles. A batch of these puckery slices can keep in the freezer up to one year, but they never last that long around here. Ingredients:
2 lbs small to medium pickling cucumbers, thinly sliced |
1 large onion |
1/2 cup red bell pepper, sliced |
1/2 cup green bell pepper, sliced |
3 tablespoons salt, divided |
2 cups sugar |
1 cup white vinegar |
1 tablespoon celery seed |
1 tablespoon pickling spices (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a large container, combine cucumbers, onions, green and red peppers and 2 tablespoons salt. Cover with ice, mix well. Refrigerate for 8 hours. Drain, rinse and drain again.
2. In a sauce pan, combine sugar, vinegar, celery seed, pickling spice and remaining 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil, cook and stir for 1 minute. Spoon over cucumber mixture and mix. Spoon into jars or freezer containers, dividing remaining juices into containers. Cool.
3. Top with lids. Cover and freeze up to 1 year. Thaw at room temperature for 4 hours before serving.
