Cooking process

First, prepare all the ingredients you need. Wash the cucumbers thoroughly, and then put in a deep container and cover with cold water. Leave to soak for a while, 1 hour should be sufficient. For lightly salted cucumbers, choose fresh young fruits of a small size. Such vegetables will be salted well in the least amount of time.

After the time has elapsed, remove the cucumbers from the water and rinse again in cold running water. Then pat the vegetables dry with paper towels, or place them on a clean kitchen towel and let them dry for a while. Cut off the ends.

Rinse the dill umbrellas, horseradish leaves and black currant thoroughly under running water. Then shake them off from excess moisture.

Layer cucumbers and green leaves in a deep container, alternating between them.

Pour the required amount of cold drinking water into a saucepan with a thick bottom. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Then add the required amount of granulated sugar, table salt and black peppercorns. Stir well until the salt and granulated sugar are completely dissolved. Boil for a few minutes. And then remove from heat.

Peel the garlic, rinse in cold running water and chop with a sharp knife or pass through a press. Add to cucumbers. Cool the prepared brine completely and pour over the cucumbers. Cover the container with cucumbers with a lid and place in the refrigerator for 12 hours.

If you want the cucumbers to salt faster, leave them at room temperature for 6-8 hours. Place in the refrigerator for 30-50 minutes to cool before serving, and then serve a juicy aromatic snack on the table with your favorite dishes. Cook the appetizer in large quantities at once so as not to waste time.

Bon Appetit!
