Ingredients
- 6 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1.5 cups White vinegar
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Water
Directions
Step 1
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them thinly. Aim for slices that are about 1/8-inch thick for even pickling.
Step 2
Peel and thinly slice the onion into rings or half-moons, depending on your preference.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cucumber slices, onion slices, and salt. Mix well to coat evenly.
Step 4
Cover the bowl and let the cucumber and onion mixture sit at room temperature for 2 hours. This will draw out excess moisture and enhance the pickle’s texture.
Step 5
After 2 hours, rinse the cucumber and onion mixture thoroughly with cold water to remove excess salt. Drain well and set aside.
Step 6
In a separate mixing bowl or a large measuring cup, combine white vinegar, granulated sugar, and water. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Step 7
Divide the cucumber and onion mixture evenly among clean, freezer-safe containers (such as mason jars or BPA-free freezer bags). Leave about 1/2 inch of space at the top of each container for expansion during freezing.
Step 8
Pour the vinegar and sugar brine over the vegetables in each container, ensuring they are completely submerged. Cover tightly with lids or seal the bags securely.
Step 9
Place the containers in the freezer and allow them to freeze completely for at least 24 hours. The pickles can be kept frozen for up to 6 months.
Step 10
When ready to enjoy, thaw the desired amount of pickles in the refrigerator overnight. They are ready to eat once fully thawed!
