Step-by-step cooking

Step 1:
How to make lightly salted cucumbers in a saucepan in a cold way? Prepare the products. Pickle cucumbers for pickling, choose strong, fresh, small size. Adjust the amount of pepper at your discretion. If you put a whole pod, as in the recipe, the cucumbers turn out to be noticeably sharp. Herbs and leaves are also taken according to taste or availability. Wash the cucumbers thoroughly. Lightly trim the tips on both sides.
Step 2:
Peel the garlic head and remove the cloves. Wash the chili pepper and remove the seeds.
Step 3:
Chop garlic into rings. Do the same with chili peppers.
Step 4:
Wash the dill leaves and umbrellas. Put one third of the greens on the bottom of the pan. I have a steel one and a half liter. You can use enameled, but you don't need to take aluminum, this metal is easily oxidized.
Step 5:
Put half of the cucumbers on top. Add half the chopped garlic and chili pepper.
Step 6:
Cover the second third of the greens.
Step 7:
Followed by the remaining half of cucumbers, garlic, chili pepper and the third part of greens.
Step 8:
For brine, pour water into a dry container and add a teaspoon of salt. Mix it up.
Step 9:
Pour the brine into the pan. Cucumbers should be completely covered with water.
Step 10:
Next you need to put cucumbers under pressure in the refrigerator for two days. I use a plate of the right size and a jar of water. After this time, try a cucumber. If it has already reached the desired state to taste, drain the brine and serve to the table. Bon appetit!

My great-grandmother also lightly salted cucumbers according to this recipe. Instead of a refrigerator, cellars and glaciers were then used.
Great-grandmother gave the recipe to my grandmother, and she, in turn, to my mother. Now I'm salting cucumbers just like that.
Sometimes there are so many cucumbers in the season that you don't even want to look at them. And lightly salted cucumbers always fly away with a bang.
I try not to make huge portions at one time. Instead, I cook half a kilo. This makes it easier to maintain a lively interest and appetite for lightly salted cucumbers.
After working with chili peppers, do not forget to wash your hands thoroughly with soap to avoid getting pepper in your eyes, on mucous membranes and on work surfaces.
I do not recommend leaving cucumbers in brine for longer than two days. The fact is that they may have time to absorb an extra amount of salt.

For cooking, it is better to use filtered or bottled water that is neutral to taste. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the dish an unpleasant characteristic taste.

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).
