Today I'm posting the recipe my Grandmother always used for freezer pickles. Just a note to keep in mind this recipe only requires that the pickles do not have wax on them (store bought) any other variety is perfect even slicing pickles!

Freezer Pickles
2 quarts unpealed cucumbers sliced (4-6 large cucumbers make a quart)
2 tablespoons salt
2 Medium onions sliced (I think she used vadalia's when she could get them)
Mix and let stand 2 hours
Meanwhile make syrup of 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1/2 vinegar
Boil only until sugar is melted.
Remove from heat, when cool set aside in refrigerator.

Drain cumbers and onions and squeeze out all the water (they make their own from the salt). Pack into plastic containers. Pour the syrup over the pickles, cover with a lid and freeze. When I was older she used ziploc bags to take up less space in the freezer and served them up in her tupperware "pickle server".

1/2 teaspoon celery salt can be added to each container if desired.

It might sound odd but I PROMISE it's wonderful.
