Instructions

  1. Cut the washed, peeled cucumber into 1 cm thick slices, layer with the salt in a bowl overnight and cover with a cloth. The next day, pour the cucumbers onto a sieve to drain and dry with a cloth.
  2. Layer the cucumbers and onions alternately with the remaining spices in a stone pot or in glasses. Bring the wine vinegar to the boil with water and sugar and pour it over the cucumbers while hot. After 8 days, pour off the vinegar, bring to the boil, stir in the preserving aid and pour it hot over the cucumbers again.
  3. After cooling, tie the pot with parchment paper or preserving skin and store in a cold and dark place.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
