Sweet-and-Sour Pickled Cucumbers for Winter

Crisp homemade pickles—the best little appetizer! I found this old-fashioned recipe in my grandmother's notes; her cellar was always full of all kinds of pickles and marinades. I'd love to share her original recipe for homemade sweet pickled cucumbers with everyone who loves good food.

  • Wash the jars, wash the produce, and peel the garlic. Put the dill, garlic cloves, and cherry leaves (you can add currant leaves too) in the bottom of a jar. Pack the cucumbers on top, tucking pieces of carrot in between them. Pour boiling water over the jar and let it stand for 20 minutes. Then drain the water into a pot and add all the remaining spices, the sugar, and the salt. Bring it to a boil and pour the hot brine back over the cucumbers. Add the vinegar on top. Seal the jars right away, turn them upside down, and wrap them up.
