Спосіб приготування

1. Soak the cucumbers¹ in cold water for 3 hours, then trim off the ends. Slice the chili pepper into rings and the garlic⁴ into slices.

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

3. Place the horseradish⁶ leaf, dill⁵, garlic⁴, chili, peppercorns, and bay leaf in the bottom, then pack in the cucumbers¹ tightly.

4. Stir the ketchup² into 450 ml water, add the salt and sugar¹⁰, and bring to a boil. Pour in the vinegar¹¹ and remove from the heat.

5. Pour the hot brine over the cucumbers¹ up to the rim and cover with the lid.

6. Sterilize the 1-liter jar in a pot of hot water for 20 minutes from the moment it comes to a boil, then seal it.

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