Instructions
- First sterilize the container. How to do it? Fill a large pot with water and boil the water. This way the container is sterile and the cucumbers will keep over time.

- When they have cooled - open the container.
- Put half a bundle of Thistle, 5 garlic cloves, all spice 5, and one hot pepper.
- Begin to place all the cucumbers in the jar one by one until they are all in or there is no space left.
- Add the salt water to cover cucumbers (need to leave at least cm from the top)
- Add the tablespoon of vinegar.
- Add 5 peppercorns, 5 garlic bulbs, 1 hot pepper, and ontop the other half of the thistle.
- Close the container and seal it.
- Place it at least 5 days in the refrigerator pantry or anywhere that is not exposed to sunlight.
- After 5 days (even weeks) open the container and enjoy household salt pickles…….amazing.
- A tip for the brave - who loves his cucumber spicy - cut each pepper into 3 pieces and put it in the container like that instead of whole.
- Another tip - if after days of marinating you notice a white layer above everything - do not be alarmed, it's only natural – it happened due to the fact there was not enough water or it was slightly exposed to sunlight. Just take a spoon, remove the white part and eat the cucumbers
- Bon Appetite!
