Pickling lightly salted cucumbers

Cooking time: 15 minutes (+ salting time).

We select young cucumbers up to ten centimeters long. Vegetables should be washed thoroughly.

Place the cucumbers in a bowl and cover with clean water for one and a half to two hours. The water should be cool. After these steps, the cucumbers will turn out crispy.

You will need dill, garlic, hot pepper, a little horseradish root and rock salt.

The jar should be washed, but not sterilized.

Place half a bunch of dill on the bottom of the jar. Cut the garlic into two or three parts, put half on the bottom of the jar, add some horseradish and a little hot pepper. Add the amount of pepper to your taste.

Cut off the edges of the cucumbers on both sides.

Place the cucumbers in a jar.

The first tier is filled, we transfer the cucumbers with a small amount of dill. You can add a few cloves of garlic.

Fill the jar with the remaining cucumbers, add the second part of the pepper, garlic and horseradish. Cover with a sprig of dill.

Add salt to a container with clean and cold water and dissolve it.

Pour the brine into the jar so that the liquid covers the cucumbers. Close with a nylon lid. Leave it to salt for a day.

Within 24 hours, lightly salted cucumbers can be eaten.

Next, the jar of cucumbers must be moved to the refrigerator so that the cucumbers remain lightly salted and crispy.
