This recipe is right out of the freezer-happy 1970s. I don’t know about your family, but we had one of those large chest freezers in the basement–a Sears model. I swear it was the size of the family American Motors Ambassador Station Wagon! It held everything garden-grown you could imagine.

Cucumbers and pickles are still being harvested at an amazing rate, and the finished product is great as a thaw-and-serve side dish for any meal, and great for picnics as well. Once thawed and well-drained, they are fantastic as a topping for hot dogs and burgers.

Besides the slicing and cutting of the vegetables, this recipe is a great “Cooking School“ project for the young ones in the household.
