Freezer Pickles-Salty/Garlicy/Sweet

Here's a freezer pickle that's totally different than the dills I posted. It's kinda salty/garlicy/sweet (in that order) with lots of pucker power-love that! I only sliced the garlic in half, go ahead and chunk it up for even more flavor. My jalapenos have been de-seeded so the only heat is if you eat a pepper. Don't add the jalapenos if you don't care for them, use bell pepper or I don't see why peppers can't be left out entirely.

The pickles stay crunchy too. Kelly says it's her Grandma's recipe-love old family recipes! 
I keep going back and grabbing a few more from the bowl, this is a keeper.

 As for the jalapenos if you use them... make sure you add them to a sandwich, nachos, beans, 
or just pop 'em into your mouth like M&Ms... 

Very nice!

My tip: If you use freezer bags you can lay them flat inside of a baking dish until they freeze. 

Then they stack nicely and take up less room in the freezer.
