Freezer Pickles

I got this recipe from my Aunt Sophie via my mom. I first made it last year. It was kind of sweet so this time I reduced the sugar to 1 1/2 cups. I did not peel the cucumbers. Here's the recipe as I got it. Very easy.

Method for Freezing Cucumbers

12 cucumbers, peeled and sliced
1 onion, peeled and sliced

Brine:
2 cups sugar
1 3/4 cups white vinegar
1/4 cup pickling salt

Boil the brine mixture and let cool.

When cool, pour over the vegetables.
Let stand 12 hours.
Freeze in either glass or plastic containers.

To unfreeze these the best way is to put them in the refrigerator so they unfreeze slowly.
The cucumbers can be served as is, or add a little cream, or salad dressing, etc.
