Directions

  1. Wash all the vegetables thoroughly. ≈ 2 min
  2. Pack the cucumbers and other vegetables tightly into the jar, distributing the hot peppers, bay leaves, garlic, and dill evenly across each layer to ensure a consistent flavor. ≈ 3 min
  3. Save the majority of the dill for later and pack it tightly on top to seal the jar. ≈ 3 min
  4. Pour each glass, pour in hot or even boiling water, adding 1 teaspoon of salt per glass, until the vegetables are completely covered – no part should stick out.
  5. Place the jar on a shelf in direct sunlight and wait: the cucumbers will change color the following day. ≈ 3 min
  6. Taste after about a week, or wait another week if necessary. ≈ 2 min
  7. Once opened, store the jar in the refrigerator.
