If you have many cucumbers, repeat that in layers. Leaves on the top.<br />There are two methods of pouring water. If you want to get taste very soon (after a day or two), pour hot water, but not boiled, just hot.<br />If you want to preserve for winter, use cold water. The process will be slower then.<br />Don't get scared, if after about a week you will find some mold on surface of the liquid- it is not dangerous type. But of course doesn't look nice. So usualy after some time we put pickled cucumbers into jars, boil the liquid, (which is cloudy) and pour over. Leaves we don't need anymore. If you try, I am really curious, how everything will come out and how will you like it. I will share the recipe of the soup with these pickled cucumbers then.<br />I find your blog really interesting and have looked many items, I just not always leave a comment. We are told, that americans don't grow vegetables, don't make any preserves for winter and rarely cook at home, I am glad to find out, that that is not true.Daliahttp://www.7ravioli.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439431739381894308.post-79521542159476543452010-10-03T10:26:22.438-05:002010-10-03T10:26:22.438-05:00Dalia,

Yes I do still have cucumber on a few vines and I can't wait to try this method.

We put whole cucumbers into some pot together with leaves of horseradish, garlic, leaves of cherry and leaves of black cucumber, and most important - the whole plant of dill (except roots, of course). You may skip any other leaves, but dill is absolutely necessary. We add salty water (1 spoon of salt per 1 liter). Water must cover all content, but as they are willing to flow, we put a plate to cover everything, and clean washed stone on the plate for the press. After few days water becomes sour and cucumbers get pickled taste. It is old fashioned way of pickling. In cool place cucumbers stay good for the whole winter. They are especialy good for salads and soup.Daliahttp://www.7ravioli.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439431739381894308.post-52491243530380374542010-10-02T13:07:44.765-05:002010-10-02T13:07:44.765-05:00I enjoyed the discovery of your blog today after y...I enjoyed the discovery of your blog today after you left a comment. I just bookmarked your pickle pot instructions so I can find them again next summer. I have started a bowl of sliced cucumbers in my refrigerator and kept it for a few weeks, but your directions are great. I also like the dressing you posted. I'll have to try these next year.Peghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784695727082212481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439431739381894308.post-73094181255513006762010-10-01T23:05:05.785-05:002010-10-01T23:05:05.785-05:00Dalia,

My pickles I must put into small jars, because everything what we open and don't eat duringa week gets wrong sour. Another type of pickle, which never gets wrong sour and may be eatable for all winter is done without vinegar, with salt only.Daliahttp://www.7ravioli.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439431739381894308.post-43345273693420124522010-09-16T08:44:28.066-05:002010-09-16T08:44:28.066-05:00Your pickle pot sounds very interesting!
