Crisp Cucumber Freezer Pickles
About This Recipe
“This is a sweet cucumber pickle. These pickles stay crisp for up to a year in the freezer. They are so easy to make and very good.I have just defrosted a bag (pictured here) after 8 months in the freezer and they are still as crisp as the day Imade them.”

“This is a great recipie!I have been using this same recipie for years.It’s hard to believe that the cucumbers stay crisp after they have been in the freezer.For those of you who like creamed cucumbers, just drain a little of the juice off and add salad dressing.Mix and enjoy! (I usually don’t let mine set for 72 hours, overnite works just as well)”
“Oh sweet/tangy joy!!!I made these replacing the white sugar with 1/2 the amount of Splenda (the carb count scared me to death :)The only problem I see is preparing enough to actually make it to the freezer!I have to taste a few every time I open the fridge.They are wonderful.”
“Recipe is very easy to make.My husband loves these and eats them any chance he gets.Only change I made was to reduce the sugar by half.”
“I just completed the 3 day freezer pickles and they taste great!Easy as beans to make.Now I have a recipe for my cucumbers out of my garden that just do not get used fast enough!”
“Oh so good, I just finished making these, some of them didn’t make it to the freezer. I’ll sure be making more. I have lots of cucumbers in the garden, Thanks for the recipe”
“These are JUST like Mother makes.Very Good.”
“I made two small batches of this recipe.One with cucumbers and the other with mixed veggies.Both were wonderful (and neither made it to the freezer).I can hardly wait to try this recipe with fresh from the garden produce.Thanks for sharing the recipe! =)”
“You must promise not to eat them all during the summer months, although this will be difficult.If you prevail, opening a container of these pickles during the cold of January will cheer your family beyond measure!We prepared them exactly as written, and though we nibbled, and gave a few containers to family, we were so very delighted that we withstood temptation and ate these in the dark cold days of winter.Fantastic!We’re in the kitchen today,making next winter’s.Thanks for posting!!”
“Bergy, these are SO good! I made them with half sugar and half Splenda. After making the first batch, I knew we would need more. So there are now 3 recipes of these in the freezer. Hope that’s enough! “
“I made these for a family gathering and everyone just raved about them.Several people took some home with them after the party.Even my husband liked them and he doesn’t really like this sort of thing.Easy and really good!”
“These never made it into the freezer; we ate them all up right out of the fridge. Might sub some dried dill for the celery seed, as its not one of my favorite flavors.”
“WOW!! I also was looking for something to make with an abundance of cukes in my garden this year…now I must buy more from the farm stand to support my new addiction!! :)I can’t wait to try them this winter though so I’m gonna have to exercise some restraint here! I’m thinking Thanksgiving & Christmas side dish…mmmm….hopefully they will still be crisp and yummy! Thank you thank you thank you thank you oh did I mention thank you for posting??!!”
“Awesome Recipe……will keep making this one!”
“Okay, I don’t follow recipes, I create my own so with this one I changed things a bit. I had several summer yellow squash that I needed to use. I used the squash instead of the cucumber and a red onion. Didn’t have any peppers. Made the brine as directed and put it all in a gallon freezer zip bag that I tossed around when ever I was in the frig. Today is day 3 and there are YUMMY! Update:Day 6 My pickles will be gone tomorrow. None made it to the freezer. Still nice and crisp. a bit pink from the red onion, still YUMMY! A big hit!”
“These are amazing!We omit the green and red peppers, then substitute a few grinds of fresh black pepper for the celery seed.We let them cure the full three days, then freeze in small plastic bags as described.Delicious perfection for snacks, on sandwiches, or in salads!!”
“These are so easy & delicious! Slicing the cucumbers is the hardest part. I used half the sugar & they taste like bread-and-butter pickles my grandma used to make. Great out of the freezer, too. Nice and crispy!”
“This is a really easy to follow recipe. I just know they are FANTASTIC. Ok, second review…Ijust made these delious pickle.. They really are the best Pickles I’ve ever eaten.Yhank you for posting. I will make these every year. YUMMYYUMMY

“This is my husband’s favorite pickle recipe.Much easier thatn canning.This year I used a mixture of yellow squash and cucumbers. Now I just need a recipe for dill freezer pickles. Thanks for the recipe.”
“OMG! Just fantastic! I had to keep tasting even before I got them frozen. Love the flavor, and love that I can keep some in the freezer and pull out as needed. Thanks, Bergy, this is my new snack!”
“These are incredible! I’d never heard of frozen pickles until my neighbor told me about them. I couldn’t wait for her receipe as I was done canning and wanted to freeze what I had cut up already.I found this receipe andWOW.I only kept them in the mixture, without red peppers, for 24 hours and that was because my husband kept eatting them!! If I didn’t freeze them then I wouldn’t have had any left to freeze. I can’t wait to try them in a couple of weeks. Thank you for sharing this wonderful receipe.”
