You can make a blank for brine. It is simple to prepare. Peel the overgrown cucumbers and twist them in a meat grinder. Do not mince, let there be tangible pieces. Use a large grate.

The cucumber mass should be salted, brought to a boil and cooked for 30 minutes. Then add vinegar and distribute in pasteurized jars. For 2 kg of cucumbers, take 7 tbsp. vinegar (9%).
