Procedura

1. Soak the cucumbers¹ in cold water for 3 hours, trim off the ends, then wash the firm tart apples², core them, and cut them into 1 cm slices.

2. Sterilize a 1 l jar over steam for 10 minutes, and boil the lid for 5 minutes.

3. Place the dill⁴, garlic³, peppercorns, and bay leaf in the bottom, then pack in the cucumbers¹, filling the gaps with apple² slices.

4. Bring 500 ml water to a boil with the salt and sugar⁸, remove from the heat, and stir in the vinegar⁹.

5. Pour the hot marinade over the vegetables and apples² up to the rim, then cover with the lid.

6. Sterilize the jar in a pot of hot water for 15 minutes from the moment it comes to a boil, then seal it.

7. Turn the jar upside down and wrap it until cool, then store in a dark, cool place for up to 12 months, and keep an opened jar in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
