<RecipeText>Instructions:
1. Add cucumbers, onions and green peppers (if using) in a large non-reactive mixing bowl. Sprinkle with kosher salt and stir to combine. Let sit for 1 hour. Transfer mixture to a colander to drain and rinse to remove excess salt.

2. Wipe out the same mixing bowl, then add drained and rinsed cucumber mixture back to the bowl.

3. In another small mixing bowl, combine sugar, apple cider vinegar, mustard seed and celery seed. Stir together to combine. If the sugar isn&apos;t mixing well, add bowl to the microwave (make sure it&apos;s microwave-safe!), and heat for 30 seconds or so, until the sugar will dissolve into the vinegar when stirred.

4. Pour liquid over the cucumber mixture in the bowl and stir to combine. Cover tightly and refrigerate for 1 full day. Transfer freezer pickles to freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 6 months.

5. To eat: Thaw pickles out in the refrigerator overnight. Once thawed, pickles should be eaten within 2 weeks. Enjoy on their own, on top of a burger, on top of hot dogs, on top of sandwiches, or however you&apos;d like!

Notes from author:
recommend freezing in smaller containers, so you can just thaw out 1 container at a time and keep the rest frozen for another time. I&apos;ve successfully frozen these pickles in glass containers (leave about 1/2&quot; of headroom at the top to allow to expansion), plastic containers, and freezer-safe resealable plastic bags.
