Instructions:
-
Begin by preparing your cucumbers, onion, and sweet pepper. Slice the cucumbers and onion thinly, and dice the sweet pepper into small pieces. Place them all in a large nonreactive container, preferably glass or plastic.
-
Sprinkle the pickling salt over the vegetables, ensuring it covers them evenly. Give it a good mix to incorporate the salt throughout. Allow the mixture to stand for 3 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure the salt is distributed evenly.
-
After 3 hours, drain the vegetables. Rinse them twice under cold water and ensure they’re thoroughly drained to remove excess salt.
-
In a small bowl, heat the cider vinegar in the microwave for 30 seconds or warm it slightly on the stovetop. Once warmed, combine it with the sugar, mustard seeds, celery seeds, and ground turmeric. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves into the vinegar mixture.
-
Pour the vinegar mixture over the drained vegetables in the container. Ensure all the vegetables are well coated with the vinegar solution by gently mixing them.
-
Now, it’s time to pack the pickles into small freezer containers. Distribute the vegetables evenly among the containers, leaving some space at the top.
-
Divide the remaining liquid and pour it over the pickles in each container, ensuring they are fully submerged.
-
Seal the containers tightly to prevent any air from entering, then label them with the date. Place the containers in the freezer.
-
These pickles can be stored in the freezer for up to 6 months, maintaining their freshness and flavor.
-
When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply thaw the pickles in the refrigerator. Once thawed, consume them within several days to savor their crunchy texture and delicious taste.
