Note

For best results, use fresh, crisp cucumbers. English cucumbers work well if you prefer a thinner skin.

These pickles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or frozen for longer storage.

If freezing, allow the pickles to thaw in the refrigerator before serving for optimal texture.

Adjust the amount of sugar or vinegar to suit your taste preferences.
