Postup

1. Soak the cucumbers¹ in cold water for 3–4 hours, then trim the ends off each one. Peel the horseradish³ root and slice it thinly, and cut the garlic⁶ cloves in half.

2. Wash a 3 l jar and scald it with boiling water. Scald the horseradish³ and blackcurrant⁷ leaves as well.

3. Bring the water (about 1,2 l) to a boil with 75 g salt², simmer for 2 minutes, and cool completely to room temperature.

4. Place half the herbs, horseradish³, garlic⁶, leaves, bay leaf, and peppercorns in the bottom of the jar, pack in the cucumbers¹ tightly, and top with the rest.

5. Pour the cold brine over the cucumbers¹ to the rim, then place a weight or clean plate on top.

6. Leave at 18–22 °C for 3 days, skimming off the foam daily. When the brine turns cloudy and the cucumbers¹ turn olive-colored, cover with a plastic lid and move to the cold (0–5 °C).

7. Store for up to 3 months, keeping the cucumbers¹ submerged in brine; keep an opened jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
