And more tips

Choose only very fresh tight cucumbers for quick pickling, preferably with pimples.

If you want very fast pickling, cut the cucumbers on both sides.

For even faster pickling of cucumbers, cut them into slices. Season with salt, spices and salt. Place it in a bag or jar. And, after shaking everything hard, keep it in the refrigerator.

As for spices and seasonings, then you can not limit yourself to just my suggestion. After all, cucumbers can be salted not only with different spices, but also by adding, say, twigs or leaves of cherry, oak, etc.

It is better to keep salted cucumbers in brine!
