How to Make Lime Mint Freezer Pickles
- Gently wash 3 pounds of pickling cucumbers and thinly slice them, discarding a slice from both ends of each cucumber.
- You should have approximately 8 cups of sliced cucumbers.
- In a large, nonreactive bowl (glass or stainless steel), toss the cucumber slices with 1/4 cup kosher salt.
- Let the cucumbers stand for two to three hours to draw out excess moisture. Then, drain them thoroughly.
- In a separate large, nonreactive bowl, stir together 2 cups white vinegar, 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice, and 1/4 cup packed fresh mint leaves until the sugar is dissolved.
- Pour the vinegar mixture over the drained cucumbers and stir gently to ensure all slices are coated.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for eight to ten hours to allow the flavors to meld.
- Pack the cucumber and syrup mixture into freezer-safe bags, removing as much air as possible, or into rigid, airtight containers.
- Freeze until solid.
- To serve, thaw in the refrigerator for at least eight hours before serving. Enjoy!
