Spicy Frozen Cucumbers

 

4 cups sliced pickling cucumbers, 3-4 inches long (about 12-14)

2 large onions

1 tablespoon salt

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup cider vinegar

1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric

1 tablespoon whole white mustard seeds

 

Wash and thinly slice the cucumbers, unpeeled. Peel the onions and slice

thin.

Combine the cucumbers, onions, and salt in a glass or ceramic bowl. Let them

stand 2 to4 hours to extract the moisture.

Rinse and drain the vegetables well, blotting them with paper towels to

absorb all the moisture.

Combine the remaining ingredients and mix well until the sugar dissolves

completely, about 10 minutes.

Pour the cucumber mixture into clean freezer containers, leaving 1 inch of

headspace for expansion. Cap and seal. These will keep up to 1 year in the

freezer.

To use, thaw about 4 hours in the refrigerator. Serve chilled.
