Grandma’s Pickled Cucumbers

In summer, I really like lightly salted cucumbers. I will suggest our family secret recipe for cucumbers. 🙂

Ingredients

Cucumbers – 1 kg
Garlic – 1 head
Hot red pepper, fresh – 1 piece
Greens (horseradish leaf, dill umbrellas, cherry leaves) – 1 bunch
Black peppercorns – 10 pcs.

For brine:

Water – 1 l
Salt – 2 tbsp

Directions

Rinse cucumbers well. Cover with cold water for 2-3 hours.
Peel and crush the garlic in a garlic bowl.
Rinse the greens well.
Put herbs, garlic, peppercorns, hot pepper on the bottom of the enamel pan. Put the cucumbers on top.
Prepare the brine: dissolve the salt in cold water (for 1 liter of water – 2 tablespoons of salt). Pour the pickles over the brine.
Cover the cucumbers with a plate on top, put a load (for example, a jar of water).
After three days, lightly salted cucumbers are ready.
(If you make the brine hot and pour cucumbers over it, then in a day the salted cucumbers will be ready.)

Bon Appetit!
