When I first saw this recipe, I couldn't imagine freezing cucumbers would work. But to my surprise, they came out perfect! Now I take them to picnics or give some as gifts to friends and neighbors. - Connie Goense, Pembroke Pines, Florida

I have been making these since the recipe first appeared in the magazine. My family loves them, they can sit and eat them right out of the jar !

I make these every year and have shared the recipe with many people. My kids love them and we eat them all winter long - reminding us of summer's bounty!
