Bereidingswijze

1. Soak the cucumbers¹ in cold water for 4 hours, then trim the ends off each one.

2. Wash a 3 l jar with baking soda and sterilize it over steam for 15 minutes, then boil the nylon lid for 5 minutes.

3. Put half the horseradish² and dill³, all the garlic⁴, peppercorns, and bay leaf on the bottom. Pack in the cucumbers¹ tightly, then cover with the remaining horseradish and dill.

4. Dissolve 80 g salt⁷ in 1.3 l cold boiled water (about 60 g per liter) and stir until completely dissolved.

5. Pour the brine over the cucumbers¹ so it covers them completely, then seal with the nylon lid.

6. Put the jar in a cellar or on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. The pickles are ready in 7–10 days.

7. Store in a cellar or refrigerator at 0–5 °C for up to 4 months; store an opened jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
