How to cook sweet pickled cucumbers

While cucumbers are in the water, we will sterilize the jars, fold the spices to the bottom. We need garlic, greens (dill or parsley sprigs), bay leaf and peppercorns. If desired, add a slice of sweet or hot pepper.

Boil water and boil the brine. Pour salt into boiling water, measure sugar and pour it into marinade. Water mix, reduce the heat and pour vinegar. Remove from heat, marinade ready.

We put the washed cucumbers in jars and fill them with hot marinade. Put the jar to be sterilized in a pot of water. Under the jar must put a piece of cotton fabric, so that the glass does not crack in the heating process. When the water in the pan boils, keep the cucumbers for a minute and remove.

We twist the lids and let cool under the "coat".

After 1-2 days, the cucumbers will darken and become as canned in color, this is common. Ready cucumbers will be very tasty and crunchy. The best snack for the winter is ready. Bon Appetite!
