Instructions: Traditional Polish pickled cucumbers

* For this recipe you need to look for cucumbers with protrusions over the skin, not the smooth ones.

Sterilize glass jars with boiling water. Rinse all cucumbers. For each jar you are going to use put 2 cloves of garlic and a teaspoon of dill seeds or even better a dill flower and some stems. Fill the jar with cucumbers as tightly as possible. Bring a liter of water to a boil and add a spoonful of salt (do not use sea salt! but mineral salt). Cool down the water and then use it to cover your cucumbers completely. In case the cucumbers come to the surface you have to weigh them with a cup or a plate to make them be completely immersed in brine. Do not close tightly the lid, they need air. After 2 days the cucumbers are ready. To be eaten within 3 to 4 days.
