water
Preserving jars – well washed
dill

Preparation procedure

Optional:
- dill
1. You can prepare the cucumber salad from three, but also from thirty cucumbers – it's up to you. I make it from about 5 kg of cucumbers.
2. Wash the cucumbers, cut off the ends and you can peel them, or leave the peel – as you normally do for salad – I always peel them.
3. Grate the cucumbers on a coarse grater (into rounds or like potatoes – into smaller pieces).
4. Layer the cucumbers into the jars so they are about 0,5-1 cm below the rim of the jar.
5. Into a 700 ml jar add 2 teaspoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, 1 teaspoon of salt – I also add a pinch of ground black pepper, and optionally dill.
6. Then fill up with cold water and close the jar tightly.
7. Sterilize at 80 degrees for about 20-30 minutes.
8. Turn them upside down, let cool and store in the pantry – that is, a cool dark place.
