Sour Garlic Freezer Pickles

If you love garlic and sour pickles, these are great! This is a variation of the the Freezer Pickles I made here. I cut them thicker, sliced each clove of garlic into at least 5 slices, used white vinegar and omitted the peppers totally. Please don't let the lack of color keep you from trying these folks, I had some cukes with tougher skins so I peeled them-not ideal but I didn't want to waste fresh garden cukes:@)
 You know you've been blogging for a while when your son looks at the white pickles
and says "they taste great but are kinda anemic, how are you going to get a picture of them mom?". 
RubyWare to the rescue son:@)

Sour Garlic Freezer Pickles
1 lb sliced cucumbers, less than 1/4" thick-preferably pickling cukes, skin on, but any will do
1 medium onion sliced
4 cloves garlic sliced into at least 5 slices each, dice them up if you really-really love garlic!
2 Tblsp kosher salt
3/4 C sugar
1 1/2 C white vinegar
3/4 C water
  1. Put veggies in medium sized glass or plastic bowl.
  2. Heat salt, sugar, vinegar and water to a simmer, stirring to dissolve salt and sugar.
  3. Pour vinegar over veggies, it should cover them.
  4. Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge. Over the next 48 hours stir occasionally.
  5. After 48 hours divvy them up into jars or freezer bags and store in the freezer.
  6. Thaw in fridge and enjoy!
Have a happy day:@)
