(for 6 jars of 500 ml each)
(1 cup 250 ml)

Cucumbers 3 kg
Salt 4 tablespoons
Garlic head
Chili powder 3 teaspoons
Fresh chili pepper 1 small

Sugar 350 g

Water 1/2 cup
Oil 10 tablespoons

Whole black pepper 1 teaspoon

🔪 Preparation:

Wash the cucumbers, cut off the ends, divide the small ones into halves, the larger ones into quarters or thick slices, place in a pot or bowl, add salt, mix and leave for 5 hours.

After this time, drain the water, add the powdered paprika and fresh paprika cut into slices and garlic pressed through a press.

Mix the ingredients for the marinade in a pot and bring to a boil. Pour the hot marinade over the cucumbers and mix. Leave for an hour and mix once or twice more during this time.

After an hour, place the cucumbers in clean jars, put them very tightly, divide the bay leaf, allspice, pepper and chili pepper between all the jars. Pour the prepared marinade over the jars, leaving about 1 cm of free space.

Due to the fact that the cucumbers are packed tightly, it is worth putting a spoon or fork in the jar and touching the bottom to get rid of any air that has formed in the jar. Tighten.

Pasteurize for 10 minutes. After pasteurization, remove the jars and set them upside down to cool completely. Take them to the basement.
