Method

1

Pack the bottom of a 5-liter plastic bottle with fresh herbs and leaves (horseradish, dill, and blackcurrant leaves).

2

Tightly pack the cucumbers into the bottle.

3

Top the cucumbers with the remaining herbs.

4

Add the salt and fill the bottle with clean, filtered, or distilled water.

5

Cover the opening with cheesecloth and place the bottle in a tray or basin to catch any brine that bubbles over during fermentation.

6

Leave them to ferment at room temp for 6 to 7 days.

7

Drain out the cloudy brine, fill with fresh water, and gently rinse the pickles 2 to 3 times.

8

Top off with fresh water and store in a cool place.
