Sorry about that Beachlady I typed it from the recipe, but of course the typo was my fauly.
The pickles do make their own water, and it will be sitting at the bottom of the bowl after the two hours is up. DHs takes the entire bowl and dumps it into a colander in the sink and then presses the cukes and onions downward in the colander. That seems to work fine.

Let them freeze solid. I think sandpat told me her first batch lasted 24 hours in the freezer before she couldn't stand to wait anymore. :D
Once they have frozen solid you can take them out and put them into the fridge, let them defrost in there as the freeze and the thaw are a big part of the pickling process.

Elizabeth, I forgot to tell you how wonderful they are. I made 5 containers and have eaten two-I want them to last forever!!! Will do some more before the cukes are gone for the summer. I don't even want to share them with my family!!! Even ate one pickle slice frozen and it was good!!

I am a big pickle-lover, but I stick to the unsweetened ones.

quick question- do you rinse them when you drain the liquid off them? I made some but it's something I'm not used to, so my verdict is still out. They are quite salty, but yet kind of sweet. Am I tasting it right?
Maybe I better open another container to taste again......
Thanks!
