How to Make Easy Freezer Sweet Pickles
- Combine 4 pounds pickling cucumbers, thinly sliced, with 1 medium onion, thinly sliced. Sprinkle generously with 2 tablespoons kosher salt, mix well, and let stand for 2-3 hours.
- Rinse the cucumber and onion mixture thoroughly under cold water and drain very well. This step removes excess salt and helps prevent a soggy pickle.
- In a saucepan, combine 2 cups white vinegar, 2 cups sugar, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Pack the drained cucumbers and onions tightly into freezer-safe containers or heavy-duty freezer bags, leaving about 1 inch of headspace. Pour the cooled vinegar mixture over the cucumbers and onions, ensuring they are fully submerged. Remove any air bubbles.
- Freeze for at least 3 weeks. The longer they freeze (up to 3 months), the sweeter and more flavorful the pickles become!
- Thaw in the refrigerator overnight or in a bowl of cold water until completely thawed before serving. Enjoy!
