PREPARING THE PICKLING LIQUID
Heat 12 liters of water to approx. 70–80°C, add the salt, granulated sugar, vinegar, and sweetener tablets. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
PREPARING THE PICKLED CUCUMBERS
Gently wash the cucumbers, you can clean them with a brush if necessary. Peel and slice the carrots and horseradish. Halve the larger slices. Cut the onion in half and slice it into semicircles.
Always place 5 carrot slices, 1-2 pieces of horseradish, a little onion, 1-2 dill leaves, half a teaspoon of mustard seeds, 2 allspice berries, half a teaspoon of whole peppercorns, 1-2 bay leaves, and 3 cloves at the bottom of the jar. Then carefully place the cucumbers into the jar.
Chef's tip
You can also add whole cinnamon or whole green peppercorns to the brine. Smaller cucumbers are tastier. Unopened jars of cucumbers can last up to 2 years. For better overview, you can label the jar with the date of preparation.
