Those who are closely involved in this issue can tell you that this is a kind of shirt, which can be Slavic (large and medium fruits, but at the same time they have rare pimples on the skin), German (too many pimples) and Asian (smooth skin) .

- dill umbrella - 4 pcs.
- black peppercorns - 9 pcs.
- lavrushka - 2 sheets

Stages:
1. First of all, harvest, it is advisable to do this in the morning, if the cucumbers are harvested in the evening, they will need to be soaked in cold water for a couple of hours. In any case, the vegetables need to be washed and sorted out well, you need to take only fresh and unspoiled fruits without flaws and dents.
Try to choose even fruits and that they are the same size, then they will be evenly salted and marinated in a jar.
Then take all the spices and herbs, if you want them to be present here. All the same, of course, it comes out tastier with them than without them. All leaves, especially if you take currants or cherries, should be poured over with boiling water. Peel the garlic cloves. Lay such a set at the bottom of the jar.
That is, in other words, you must take a clean jar and put horseradish root, currant and cherry leaves on the bottom, then chives, peppercorns and do not forget about parsley and dill umbrellas. If you love spicy taste then put some more red hot pepper but don't overdo it).
3. Your next action, the most responsible, is to beautifully push cucumbers into a jar. Try to put them on tightly so that more enters. Once this is done, turn on the pot of water.
And bring to a boil, and after active seething, pour the workpiece with drinking water. Cover immediately with a metal lid. In this state, the jar should stand for about 10-15 minutes so that it cools down a bit and you can pour the liquid back into the pan.

5. In the meantime, while the glass container is in the "second water", boil that first liquid again and add salt and sugar. Stir so that the bulk components dissolve, then pour in the vinegar essence or citric acid.
6. Drain the water from that glass container with cucumbers, and immediately fill the jar with the prepared boiling brine. The easiest way to do this is through a funnel.

Cooking steps
We cut off the “butts” of cucumbers and put them in jars with spices. You can add other vegetables as a variety or to fill the free space (tomatoes, zucchini, squash, etc.)
We'll pour it right away hot pickle by jars. We will cover them with lids, not yet rolling them up for further sterilization. Sterilize as you like, in the oven or in a pot of water, or in another way.
Then we roll up and wrap the jars with pickled cucumbers until cool. You can take a sample after a week. Great Recipe for spicy lovers! In winter, such cucumbers perfectly diversify the menu.
I don't like large cucumbers, I try to collect them still small, when they have reached a length of no more than 4-5 centimeters. So I buy specially the seeds of gherkins, which, in principle, do not grow large. And in winter, how pleasant it is to open a jar with small, neat, as if picking even pickles. Such a cucumber delivers a direct aesthetic pleasure with its appearance, and when you bite it off or put it entirely in your mouth and chew it, it crunches pleasantly on your teeth. The peculiarity of my recipe is that the gherkins are pickled with hot pepper which gives them a certain zest. This is how my mother taught me to pickle cucumbers, and she had the most delicious cucumbers of the ones I've ever tried.
Gherkins with hot peppers- Ingredients:
For one 320 ml jar:
Gherkins - about 150 g
Dill seeds - 1 tsp
Allspice - 3-4 pcs.
Carnation - 3-4 buds
Horseradish root - 3-4 circles with a diameter of one and a half centimeters
Garlic - 1 clove
Hot chili pepper - 3-4 rings
Table vinegar 6% - 1 teaspoon
For brine:
Water - 500 ml
Salt - 1 tbsp. l.
Sugar - ½ tbsp. l.
Gherkins with hot peppers - recipe:
Wash the jar and lid in advance, pour boiling water over them to disinfect them. Cut a clove of garlic into slices, as in the case of cooking, hot peppers into slices. Peel the horseradish root, cut into circles.
By this time, you should already have selected gherkins of the same size. Put the dill seeds, garlic, horseradish, cloves, allspice and hot pepper in a sterile jar. Fill the jar with gherkins to the very top. Prepare the brine. Despite the fact that you don’t need much brine at all, prepare it at the rate of 500 ml of water, it’s easier to keep the proportions than to measure salt and sugar in grams. You just pour out the extra brine, the costs are low. Stir the brine well so that the salt and sugar dissolve, pour the jar of cucumbers with the brine.
cook large saucepan for sterilization. Place a stand on the bottom of the pan so that the jar is placed on it, and not on the bottom of the pan. To put in a pan right amount water, put the jar in a saucepan and draw enough water so that it reaches the "shoulders" of the jar. Take the jar of cucumbers out of the pan. Cover the pot with a lid and bring the water to a boil. When the water comes to a boil, carefully lower the jar into the pot using the jar tongs.
Cover the jar with a lid.
Sterilize cucumbers for 25 minutes. Then, just as carefully, with tongs, remove the jar from the pan, open the lid and pour in a teaspoon of vinegar. Screw on the lid tightly. When cooling, the pressure in the jar will decrease and the lid will pull even more, so the jar will be hermetically sealed, and when turned over, brine will not flow out of it. Cool the jar of gherkins at room temperature. No need to cover the jar with anything so that they do not become soft.
Keep such gherkins with hot peppers it is possible in any conditions, but for a guarantee, it is better in a cool place.
Note to the owner:
To make pickled cucumbers nicely crunchy, soak them in very cold water for three hours before pickling.
To avoid becoming soft, do not put too much vinegar. Of course, vinegar is a preservative and thanks to it jars of cucumbers can be stored at room temperature for a year, but excess vinegar not only makes cucumbers soft, but also impairs their taste.
To get the dill taste in cucumbers, put only dill seeds in the jar. Dill umbels are not as fragrant (they just have fewer seeds). They are usually put more for beauty than for taste.
