FROZEN CUCUMBERS

Steps:

• 1. Slice cucumbers and onions into large bowl and mix. I use my mandolin and the thin slice blade to slice the cucumbers and onions. You do not need to peel the cucumbers first. I use my 13 quart stainless steel bowl to make this. Sprinkle with salt. Pour enough water over cucumbers and onions to just cover. I use nursery water, found in the baby food section for all of my canning as our water is too soft. Let set 2 hours. Drain in colander, but do not rinse. Put cucumbers and onions back in bowl.
• 2. Mix sugar and white vinegar and pour over cucumber - onion mixture. Stir and let set about 15 minutes. Put in freezer bags or containers and freeze. I usually put about 3 1/2 cups of the mixture into each quart bag. This recipe will make 10 quart bags. To use, thaw bag in refrigerator, pour into bowl and serve. Refrigerate leftovers. These stay crisp and taste just like fresh cucumber salad!

FROZEN CUCUMBER SALAD

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in large bowl.
• Refrigerate for 24 hours.
• Put in containers and freeze with the brine.
• Just defrost to serve.
• Tip: To save space and avoid freezer burn, I freeze this overnight in shallow freezer containers. Then, defrost slighty (or dip in a hot water bath) to release the food from the container. Seal the block of frozen food in a ziplock or seal-a-meal bag, label and stack back in the freezer until ready to use. This works great for all kinds of foods!

HOW TO FREEZE CUCUMBERS

Steps:

• Rinse the cucumbers and gently pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Slice them according to how they'll be used.
• Arrange the slices in a single layer on a lined sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until frozen solid.
• Place the slices into freezer-safe bags. Squeeze out as much excess air before sealing them shut.
• Label the bags accordingly and freeze. Frozen cucumbers will keep well for up to 6 to 9 months.

CUCUMBER SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Sprinkle 1 Tablespoon of salt over the cucumbers. Add just enough water to cover the cucumbers and place a plate on top to keep them weighted down. Let sit for two to four hours.
• Drain the cucumbers and onions in a colander and rinse them well to remove the excess salt.
• Place the cucumbers back in the same bowl and add the sugar, celery seed, and vinegar. Mix well until sugar is dissolved.
