Lori's Sweet Freezer Pickles

First off, lest I give the wrong impression, I am not the gardener in the family. That would be Kahuna. I am merely the fortunate party who is married to a worker bee who loves to plant gardens and grow flowers and generally toil in the yard.

Meanwhile, I get to read a lot.
We make a good team.
That said, I do spring into action when the Kahuna starts growing cucumbers the size of small clubs.
Those on top are Japanese cucumbers. On the bottom are lemon cucumbers. (At least I think that's what they are.)
This is my hand, springing into action.
See me spring?

Jars of pickles to go into your freezer, ready to be pulled out any time you want to bask in that feeling of being industrious. There are three batches here. I am basking.

Well Girl, you just bask away! :) With all that springing you did, you need to sit back and relax a while. LOL!
I'm SO glad you liked the pickles. Thrills me to pieces. :) I love 'em too.
Lori, these really are delicious. I made a trial batch last week to see how I liked them. They got two thumbs up, so today I made three more batches. I have a feeling there are more to come :) I made your herb rolls the other night, too. We devoured them. Another new favorite.
That is fantastic. I am definately trying this method, I never heard of freezing them. I am excited to try it.
How awesome :) I didn't know pickles can be frozen. Great post!
Oh these sound so easy to make .. I have got to try them!!
Ask your Kahuna how to keep the varmints from dining on all those great veggies before the humans get the chance. Short of building a mini-Alcatraz out of chicken wire I'm at a loss.
I love that these go into the freezer instead of all the work of canning! They sound delicious!
The Bumbles, I believe the mini Alcatraz with chicken wire is Kahuna's weapon of choice in the battle against the varmints. He also has some battery-operated stakes you stick in the ground; they emit high frequency sounds that drive off the underground critters. But mainly, chicken wire. Lots and lots of chicken wire.
Oh I love veg gardens! you're so lucky to have a busy bee at home :)
Lovely photos!
Frozen pickles? Never heard of such a thing, but why not. I wish I had a freezer besides the one that's the top half of fridge. That one is filled with ice cream.
Dear Queen,
My mom grows those cucumbers too and she always called them Armenian Cucumbers. I just googled a pic and I believe she is right. I really like them as they are more crunchy than the regular garden variety cucumber. Your recipe looks delish and I will give it a try!
Thanks for the heads up about Armenian cucumbers, Anonymous. Now I will google it, too, to check out what exactly we are growing over here :)
Lynn,
Sorry, I did not mean to be "anonymous" but I was in a hurry (and trying to read your blog at WORK- ah-hem) and just hit the wrong button. We just love those cukes and make refrigerator pickles with them. I have never tried the freezer way, but I will!

Hi Lisa S. (no longer anonymous :) ), I'm so glad to know that what we are growing are actually Armenian cucumbers (not Japanese cucumbers). And the pictures I saw on-line of lemon cucumbers are actually nothing like the other variety we're growing, so I think I was wrong on both counts :( I will say, the Armenian kind have been delicious, while the other kind -- whatever they are -- have tended to be bitter. So next year we may just stick with the Armenian. And they're so pretty when you slice into them; they look like little flowers. Thanks for passing along the info.
